The city of Mount Vernon is strapped for cash, and the mayor says she is being forced to resort to dire measures to keep the city afloat.
Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard says the city is not making ends meet as she finalized the already late 2021 budget. It is a perfect storm, she says.
And because of that, she s forced to make one of two tough choices: lay off 60 workers, or her own personal choice, furlough the entire workforce starting in March.
