Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano proposed cutting 200 jobs, trimming capital projects and canceling contracts to close a $45 million deficit in the $2.8 billion budget.

The job cuts, which would save an estimated $10 million, require approval of the county Legislature, which is controlled by Mangano’s fellow Republicans. About 60 employees took a buyout, according to Brian Nevin, a spokesman for the county.
