SPRINGFIELD — Eight state employees who work mostly as security guards at the Springfield Air National Guard Base will be out of jobs later this fall if they aren’t hired by the federal government.
The eight employees — part of a group of 44 statewide — were notified Sept. 27 that the U.S. Department of Defense would no longer reimburse the state for their positions as of Nov. 3.
On Nov. 4, the state employees who guard the front gate of the local air base will be replaced by federal employees, said James Sims, spokesman for the Ohio National Guard.
