While At-Large Council member Vincent Orange is poised to push through his Jobs Czar Act of 2011 -- aimed at reducing the District's unemployment rate -- 10 workers at the troubled Children and Family Services Agency have received pink slips.
The terminations come in the wake of efforts to streamline the city's budget woes, and according agency spokeswoman Mindy Good, the reductions will not affect social services caseloads.
CFSA, which came under fire during former Mayor Adrian Fenty's administration largely for the manner staff dealt with the cases involving several children, laid off more than 100 employees in May 2010.
Meanwhile, CFSA's budget has decreased from $270 million in the current fiscal year to $265 million for the new spending period, which begins Oct. 1.
