City leaders in Ketchikan are considering whether to cut back city workers’ hours to save money as the city faces a budget crunch. Members of the City Council floated the idea back in March, but a recent survey says most employees don’t like the idea.
The city says reducing its full-time non-union employees’ to four days a week could save $1.5 million this year. Council Member Judy Zenge floated the idea back in March when the city was considering laying off a firefighter to save money.
