City Council cuts pay of 800 workers

One furlough day every two weeks for department heads, policy analysts, council aides and some other non-union workers will save $2 million. The council's budget is still short by $100 million. Meanwhile, the council is primed to OK a 3.25% cash bonus and raises of 2% to 4% each of the following four years for DWP employees.
