KATC-TV3 – Lafayette, LA

The City of Crowley has been forced to lay off 15 city employees and cut hours for others, a release from the Mayor states.

The city is facing a shortfall of more than $1 million and these cuts, as well as other cuts to the budget, have become necessary, Mayor Tim Monceaux says in a statement.

Crowley Police Chief Jimmy Broussard confirmed with KATC that the shortfall is forcing budget cuts at the police department and he is not ruling out layoffs at this time.
