Arizona’s State Attorney General, Terry Goddard, has announced the layoffs of 29 employees from the Attorney General’s Office.
Goddard blamed the state budget crisis. The Arizona legislature still has a $3 billion deficit to close.
Those affected were notified this morning. It is not clear how many of the layoffs affected attorneys.
