Tchula, Mississippi, is a tiny town with big bills and a dwindling amount of money in the bank.
Tchula Mayor General Vann, who took office in 2017, says the town only has about $7,000 despite owing more than $100,000 to the state and the IRS, according to the Greenwood Commonwealth.
Vann’s recommendation is to cut city employees’ hours to 32 a week with most taking pay cuts on top of that, with the exception of police officers.
