The city of Atlanta is cutting another 222 employees. The city will also close the majority of its recreation centers. Atlanta has to cope with an expected $50 million budget hole. Almost half of the cuts will come from the parks, recreation and cultural affairs department. This is the third round of job cuts for the city this year. The rest of the shortfall will be met by cutting work schedules by 10 percent and taking $12 million from the city's rainy day fund.
