1/14/10 Action Alert—3 Jobs Slated for Elimination
|
JANUARY 14, 2010—According to a staff memorandum sent yesterday by County Economic Development Director Steve Silverman, at least three county staff members who assist the equestrian community and protect the environment are going to lose their jobs in June.
In response to County Executive Leggett’s call for further budget reductions, Silverman will be proposing THIS FRIDAY to the COUNTY COUNCIL to eliminate positions in the (already understaffed) Soil Conservation District (SCD) office (including the Equine Conservation Planner) and other related positions in the Agricultural Services office. These workers support horse farm owners and operators (and farmers generally) with conservation and environmental protection practices.
IT IS CRITICAL THAT WE STOP SILVERMAN’S PROPOSAL. WRITE TO COUNTY COUNCILMEMBERS (AND COPY SILVERMAN) TODAY EXPRESSING YOUR CONCERN AND DEMAND THAT THESE POSITIONS—SO IMPORTANT TO THE EQUESTRIAN COMMUNITY, THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY AND THE HEALTH OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY—REMAIN INTACT. JUST SAY WHOA! TO STEVE SILVERMAN! councilmember.berliner@montgomerycountymd.gov
