Feeling the pressure of a difficult economy, the State Bar of Wisconsin said this week that it has eliminated nine jobs from its staff.No one is safe from the damage Walker is causing.
In a statement issued Thursday, State Bar Executive Director George Brown said that the nine positions were eliminated through a combination of voluntary retirements and layoffs due to a year-end deficit.
"Despite efforts to reduce expenses and increase revenues over recent years, economic realities necessitate more drastic cost-cutting measures to ensure the organization's long-term fiscal stability," Brown said.
The layoffs reduced the State Bar's staff by 10 percent, to 86 full-time employees.
