Wayne County Michigan issued the following announcement on April 28.
"Our goal is to avoid layoffs and service reductions as much as possible," said Evans. "My administration intends to collaboratively work with other County officials and unions on solutions to the fiscal challenge created by coronavirus, just as we did to resolve the County's financial emergency when I took office."
Wayne County Executive Warren C. Evans signed Executive Order 2020-001 instituting hiring and spending freezes across County government in response to a projected revenue shortfall of at least $152 million created by the COVID-19 pandemic and economic shutdown.
"The ongoing global pandemic and 'Stay Home' orders are putting a tremendous strain on the county's ability to fund essential services at current levels," said Executive Evans. "This order is a proactive step to ensure we can balance our books without significantly impacting service levels."
