Layoff notices issued today for Mahoning County deputies
YOUNGSTOWN — The layoffs in the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Department are now a reality.
Layoff notices were mailed this morning to 86 deputies and two civilian employees, Sheriff Randall Wellington said.
The layoffs, brought on by the county’s recession-induced financial crisis, take effect June 6, in conjunction with the closing of half the county’s main jail. The layoffs will reduce the number of employees in the sheriff’s office from 299 to 211, the sheriff said.
