BIGGER BUILDINGS......SMALLER PAYCHECKS 

As Spotlight 29 Casino customers enjoyed the revelry of a $52 million expansion, cost-cutting measures were imposed, resulting in pay cuts to staff.

Twelve percent pay cuts and a temporary halt to 401(k) matches by their employer were announced the same week the ribbon was cut to celebrate the completion of a $52 million casino parking garage, administrative offices and expanded casino floor room.

Robert Paull, general manager, confirmed the cuts this week.

A company official would not reveal the total number of people affected, but an anonymous employee who notified The Mount Airy News this week said that a third of Aerial Machine and Tool’s personnel have lost their jobs.

That could put the total impacted at around 100.....

ONCE YOU CUT ENOUGH....IS THE ONLY THING LEFT TO DO FIGHT........?????

DAVENPORT -- One of the county's oldest businesses and a monumental chapter in the region's economic history closed Friday.

Manufacturing giant Cemex announced that its Santa Cruz County cement plant, opened in 1906 to help build a state hungry for growth and responsible for such construction feats as the Golden Gate Bridge and California Aqueduct, would cease operation.

Cemex officials had closed the plant temporarily last year, citing the weak economy, but only on Friday did they completely surrender to it.

"It's a business decision, but it's a tough one," said Cemex spokeswoman Jennifer Borgen. "We've been in this community for over a century. It's a sad day."
