Dean Campaign Lays Off More Than 12

[rodbarnett]

PHOENIX (AP) - Howard Dean's presidential campaign, which has severely cut back on spending, has laid off more than a dozen staffers who worked at headquarters and out in the field, aides said Monday night.

Campaign manager Roy Neel said some of those who were let go had worked on projects either at campaign headquarters in Burlington, Vt., or in Iowa and New Hampshire and were no longer needed.

Neel described the layoffs as routine, but word of them came just days after Dean brought the former aide to Al Gore in last week as part of a staff shake-up to watch the budget and help turn around the former Vermont governor's struggling bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. The campaign has pulled its advertising from several states to save money and had asked staffers to defer paychecks.
