Five Milan city employees have been laid off as the mayor said he is working to get spending under control. 
 
According to Mayor Chris Crider, two police department and three public works employees were let go, Friday. He said he is working to cut expenses and raise revenue and plans to work with the board of aldermen on health insurance costs. He cites the sluggish economy as the reason for the city's budget troubles.
