The job cuts were a direct response to state budget cuts. The Legislature cut funding to the medical branch by $114 million in the next two years.
About 130 employees in the Correctional Managed Care program were given 60 days’ notice Tuesday. The employees were told their positions were being eliminated or they would be reassigned effective Sept. 16.
