FOX 29's Steve Keeley has the latest. PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney will propose a new budget on Friday – a plan he says will include layoffs.
The mayor says his original budget needs to be revised because of the coronavirus pandemic. Kenney is expected to propose raising some taxes, like property taxes and city wage tax for non-residents, to make up for the shortfalls caused by the pandemic and ensuing shutdowns.
The new budget will also propose layoffs, according to the mayor. Those layoffs will mostly impact part-time, temporary, and seasonal employees.
