Judge Gives OK for Governor to Furlough State Workers
Earlier this month Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger ordered furloughs for state workers to help the budget crunch. Two state employee unions took the governor to court to challenge his authority to force workers to take unpaid time off. Today Judge Patrick Marlette sided with the governor and said “The current circumstances constitute an emergency.” His ruling allows the Schwarzenegger’s plan to go ahead. The furloughs will be for two days a month beginning next week.
