Officials in the California city of San Bernardino, which filed for bankruptcy this month, presented a plan yesterday to slash its budget by 30 percent and eliminate more than 100 jobs and cut services, Reuters reported yesterday. The plan asks for the elimination of over 100 full-time city jobs, from the mayor's office, through city departments and in the fire and police services. Many other vacant jobs will not be filled and some part-time jobs will be eliminated. The plan also looks at cutting funding for the public library, and evaluations of whether to close the city cemetery and various community and senior centers.
