Riverside County, Calif., which is still recovering from effects of the recession, may lay off IT staff, according to an article in The Press-Enterprise. The recession cost the county an estimated $200 million in revenue which put county employees on furlough and closed some offices one day per week. But while all offices are now back to a five-day-a-week schedule, the county IT Department is consolidating and CIO Kevin Crawford is requesting 48 fewer positions than he requested last fiscal year.
