More Furloughs for State Employees

More and more state employee are being furloughed. There's been an increase of 27 percent in just over a month. At the beginning of April, 31,838 employees were listed as taking days off without pay to help their agencies save money. Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, the Senate president, says he expects furloughs for many state agencies will continue into fiscal 2010, which begins July 1.
