White House: Shutdown firings of federal workers begin

The White House budget office said Friday that mass firings of federal workers have started. How many federal workers are in Hall County? The government does not break the numbers down by county but statewide there are about 110,000.

Russ Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, said on the social media site X that the “RIFs have begun,” referring to reduction-in-force plans aimed at reducing the size of the federal government. More details here:
