Moody Furloughs 250 in Wake of Government Shutdown
Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013
Moody Air Force Base has furloughed 250 of its 450 civilian employees-- effective immediately, due to the government shutdown.
Right across the street from Moody, Thai Chang restaurant is already feeling the effects of the furloughs at lunchtime.
Usually packed wall to wall at noon with Moody personnel, Tuesday, there are just a few tables.
"Without pay that's definitely going to dampen the business a lot. We're still feeling the effects from the last time, now there's 250 laid off effective immediately so I'm sure we're going to feel it," said Thai Chang Waitress, Missy Atteberry.
