Furlough Fridays Back – Now Three Days a Month

July 1, 2009 Blogs, California Politics, Sacramento No Comments

Breaking Now on SacBee.com:

330-ha_gov20220.embedded.prod_affiliate.4.JPGGov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today said he will reinstitute “furlough Fridays” for state workers and ordered a third furlough day each month through June 2010 next year.

At a morning press conference, the governor also repeated his refusal to sign any piecemeal budget bills to avoid IOUS and said he will not sign bills on any other subject until he and the Legislature reach agreement on an overall budget solution.

“Though the legislature failed to solve our budget problem yesterday, rest assured that solving the entire deficit remains my first and only priority, and I will not rest until we get it done. I will not be a part of pushing this crisis down the road – the road stops here,” Schwarzenegger said.

Beginning July 10, the state Department of Personnel Administration will direct almost all state offices to be closed the first, second and third Friday of every month through June 2010.

Many of us have been starved for real substance out of Whitman and what we have [...]

Do you like Formula 409? Simple Green?

CA-19 Update: Look at All the Union Money to Jeff Denham!

May 26, 2010

Jeff Denham is a Fraud. Looks Pretty on the Outside until you unwrap the package and what’s inside… oh mama.

What was Denham’s motivation to be that way?

Happy Monday -
