PORTLAND, Ore. -- The equivalent of 95 full-time positions in the Oregon court system will be eliminated by May 1 and administrators worry about the effects on people who want swift resolution to legal problems.
The Oregonian reports the layoffs will mean fewer employees to accept payments for tickets, answer questions, pull files from archives and staff courtrooms.
The latest staff cutbacks will mean the loss of 296 positions since 2009, a 17 percent decrease.
Multnomah County trial court administrator Doug Bray says the cutbacks are the worst he's seen since the state started funding circuit courts in 1983.
He calls it a huge shock wave for the court and an enormous organizational change.

Hey government employee lard-asses: the gravy train is empty - you ate and ate until there ain’t no more left.
Well Oregon, you wanted hope and change..... how’s it working out for ya?
“Hey government employee lard-asses: the gravy train is empty - you ate and ate until there ain’t no more left.”
These people are screwed; no transferrable job skills. Now they’ll see how their employers (the taxpayers) have been faring for years...
