Prince George’s county council will vote on an aid package for fired fired federal workers, but face fiscal constraints due ...

Officials in Prince George’s County moved forward Tuesday with plans to help laid-off federal workers get back on their feet.

Facing a looming budget deficit, the county council has had to scale down what was initially a more robust aid package for residents who’ve lost their federal jobs.

For the first time we are hearing from federal workers in Maryland who have been impacted by this government shutdown.

As thousands more fear that their federal jobs are on the chopping block, Prince George’s County leaders say they know this help is needed.

The council passed the resolution on Tuesday, which is a scaled down version of the aid package introduced earlier this year.
