Fresno County Ca Finances

Layoff notices were issued to 127 Fresno County workers, including a deputy sheriff who returned a heroism medal in protest. About half of the notified employees were told they may accept demotions and keep working, but 64 will lose their jobs unless voters approve a Nov. 3 bond issue to bolster the county's financial condition, the Board of Supervisors declared.
