40 state workers to be laid off Wednesday

Annapolis

Published October 28, 2008

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — State budget cuts will mean layoffs this week for 40 Maryland state employees.

The filled jobs are among more than 800 mostly vacant positions eliminated because of this year's budget shortfall.

Gov. Martin O'Malley's administration says the layoffs Wednesday will include more than 20 jobs in the Department of Transportation. Seven of the 40 people being laid off make more than $100,000 annually.

The employees were given two weeks' notice, four weeks severance pay and four months of health benefits.
