November 10, 2008: 04:09 PM ESTNEW YORK (Associated Press) – The Kansas City Star announced Monday that it is laying off 50 more employees as it continues paring its staff in what the newspaper’s publisher calls “one of the most challenging years in Star history…”
From BlogKC:
…Sprint is no longer the only local company shedding jobs every three months, now that the Star appears to be in a death spiral. Bottom Line Communications has the latest list of 50 cuts, including some big names like cartoonist Lee Judge, gossip columnist Hearne Christopher, Jeff City reporter Kit Wagar, and editor Laura Scott…
Hmmm. Like nothing will be going on in Jefferson City during the next legislative session?
Margaret Donnelly responds first:
If anyone else responds, I’ll post it.
We are out here doing what we do, huh?
I, for one, have purchased my ten-ride pass to Jeff. I am committed to making five trips during the session now.
On the up side, maybe now that Kit isn’t going to be in the bureau room, they will let us unwashed rabble in and Jeanette’s staff won’t have to share their desks with us!
Because of the economic crisis that our country is facing more people today have lost their job. Economic crisis has brought us lost of problems. Prices of commodities today are getting higher and higher that’s why more families today are struggling hard just to meet their ends. Some parents may not be able to send their kids to school due to lack of budget. Obama is eying an overhaul of the educational system, because our educational system is in need of some work. American education has been in need of some quick loans to spruce up their curricula and help our future generations of workers and leaders to achieve better performance in academic fields and also greater competitive qualities in the workforce. The idea is to replace the former testing format with higher standards and more stringent curricula. Let us hope that this is the overhaul that will get the American educational system back on track.
