Pressure from the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) helped kill generous raises for management listed in the proposed 2009 Putnam County budget, but county officials still approved the layoff of two CSEA members employed by the county's highway department. CSEA members, including those shown above, demonstrated against the cuts before a recent public hearing on the budget. The budget also included the elimination of a number of vacant CSEA-represented job titles. The cuts came despite the fact that recent lobbying by CSEA has allowed Putnam County to enjoy a dramatic increase in sales tax revenues, a change that puts the county in a far better financial position than it has seen in recent years.
