From The Politicker:Michael Bloomberg is ordering a hiring freeze for the city, in response to the State Senate’s inaction, which the mayor said has already cost the city $60 million.
The hiring freeze includes 250 police recruits sent to enter the academy this week, along with:
150 firefighters
151 traffic agents
34 emergency 911 operators
175 school safety agents
150 school crossing guards
90 emergency medical technicians
20 311 operators
"I urge Senators in both parties to put aside their political differences and approve the City’s revenue plan so we can move forward with providing the core services that New Yorkers rely on,” Bloomberg said in a public statement.
