Employees Bring Own Toilet Paper to Work

BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Buffalo area's county budget crisis is taking a toll on the bathrooms in at least one public building.

Erie County has had to slash 2,000 jobs and cut back on services in order to close a more than $100 million budget shortfall.

In the Rath Building in downtown Buffalo, workers report that the bathrooms aren't being cleaned or maintained. One longtime worker in the building tells Buffalo's WGRZ-TV that there's no soap, paper towels or toilet paper in the restrooms. <snip>

It's so bad, some county employees are bringing in their own toilet paper and other supplies. The worker told WGRZ that's "like working in another country — a bad country."

1. If any of you know Buffalo and Erie County
you'd know that they were hurting big time long before this.

I have never seen urban blight like I saw in that city.
