The Jersey Journal: WNY files plan to lay off 73 employees, including 22 cops

by Michaelangelo Conte/The Jersey Journal

West New York Mayor Silverio “Sal” Vega is hoping that negotiations with the town’s unions will reduce the number of layoffs needed to bridge a $5 million budget gap.

West New York has filed plans with the state to lay off 22 cops and 51 other town employees as a way to save $5 million and avoid a tax hike, officials said.

However, talks are ongoing with three unions representing the town’s 112 police officers and about 340 other town workers, Mayor Silverio “Sal” Vega said, and if other savings can be found, the number of layoffs can be reduced.

Notices were sent to all town employees today alerting them to the plan.

  1. Why has Vega and Lange hired 50+ people in the last few months and their not getting laid off? Something smells here? Vega and Lange and the other thieves must be laid off now before they strike the tax payers and renters again! ROQUE help us!!!

  2. Albio why are you so quiet on this? Are you alive to our pain? Come back to WNY from Washington and see your people starving and losing their homes, and now their police and jobs. Get off the tit Albio!

  3. Albio is to busy in D.C eating crab cakes. We need all new leaders, A revolution is needed to protect our United States and freedoms! WNY is already lost to communism of Vega and Lange.
