Santa Claus fired in Suffolk County due to budget restraints

[ignhelper]

[Release]Bah Humbug. Faced with a difficult budget to balance, officials in New York’s Suffolk County were forced to fire Santa Claus last week in order to save $660, Reuters News Agency reported. David McKell, 83, a World War II veteran and former homicide police detective, had donned the magic red suit on Long Island for more than nine years. County executive committee members argued that it was difficult to pay Santa Claus when another 750 county employees were facing possible layoffs due to budget challenges.[/release]

Poor Santa

Considering his previous employments, he should be able to survive off pension quite comfortably.

Still sad.

"Well, the economy is bad and he got laid off."
