CLEVELAND — The White House’s proposed budget for Northeast Ohio’s NASA Glenn Research Center and the Neil Armstrong Test Facility in Sandusky calls for cutting about 554 jobs over the next year. When compared to last year's budget, that amounts to a 38% cut of all federal NASA civil servants in the area. Right now, NASA Glenn employs about 1,400 civil servants. This proposal calls for trimming that number to 837. Read the budget by clicking here.
