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."
