Excerpts from wgntv.com:

Firefighters and police officers in Harvey were called to city hall Monday night and told that layoffs are possible. The main issue is underfunded pensions dating back to 1996.

Mayor Eric Kellogg blames the state comptroller’s office for withholding funds in a manner that hasn’t been done since 1861, but local Alderman Christopher Clark said the mayor is  using the comptroller as a scapegoat and that he believes what’s happening here with Kellogg and his son’s administration rises to the criminal level.
