NYC likely to cut more jobs

NEW YORK -- New York City agencies are being asked to cut their budgets again, and that likely means layoffs.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg's budget director, Mark Page, told agency heads in a letter Wednesday that they must slash their budgets again for next fiscal year, which begins in July.

Agencies must submit their budget proposals by Monday.
