Florida Among States Cutting Benefits for Government Employees

New budget cuts in the state of Florida have eliminated or trimmed benefits for more than 1,800 state employees.

The cuts, which were part of a bill designed to save the state $70 billion, eliminated free health insurance for state employees, and also capped the amount they can receive in life insurance benefits, according to a report in the Fort Myers News-Press.
