Prison cuts postponed

Nevada - A plan to help deal with Nevada's budget crisis by cutting out the extra pay that about 450 prison guards get for working swing-shifts has been postponed by Corrections Director Howard Skolnik. Skolnik said Wednesday that he was able to sideline the plan, which would have saved about $700,000 a year, by freezing staffing positions that currently are vacant.
While the plan to eliminate the 5 percent differential pay for the swing-shift guards is gone for now, Skolnik cautioned that continued revenue problems for the state could result in the plan being revived later.
