Whipped Cream Difficulties

The bankrupt city of San Bernardino has voted to cut 100 city jobs.

Of the 100 eliminated jobs, 41 are non-sworn positions in the Police Department. The rest are positions in other departments ranging from managers to janitors. The cutbacks also could lead to the closure of three or four library branches.

The city is not cutting fire department positions. (It is interesting that the original reports stated that 20 positions were proposed to be eliminated, nine people would be demoted, and nobody would be laid off. I wonder why, if this was the plan, there were threats of “rotating, temporary closures of fire stations”.)
