Layoffs, pay cuts possible options to fix Lexington's revenue shortfall

Several difficult options may be on the table, when Lexington city leaders decide how to make up a big revenue shortfall.

Mayor Jim Newberry says Lexington is now facing an estimated $12-13 million shortfall.

So he says the city may consider layoffs, pay cuts, furloughs, and getting rid of some city programs.

The mayor wants city division directors to come up with ways to trim costs.

He'll present a budget reduction plan to the Urban County Council in January.
