 SAN FRANCISCO -- In an effort to close a $338 million dollar budget shortfall, the President of the San Francisco's Board of Supervisors proposed Tuesday to eliminate all city workers not mandated by law who make over $150,000 a year. That could mean as many as 600 city workers will lose their jobs.
Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin told KCBS services will be cut and those are the jobs targeted for elimination.
"If you have mangers who have very few people left to manage, their role is not as important as if you have robust staff underneath them and I think we're coming to the point where we're going to have to make those decisions," said Peskin.
He's asked that legislation be drafted to cut all high paid city workers unless their jobs are mandated by law. That would probably leave police intact, but might impact mid level managers working for city agencies like MUNI or the Health Department.
