Mayor Carty Finkbeiner, his chief of staff, and even the city's police and fire chiefs, will be among 64 Toledo employees forced to take two days off without pay to help close a multi-million deficit in this year's general operating fund budget.

The city may have a $3 million to $7 million general operating fund deficit by year's end, and officials are considering laying off more than a dozen employees."
