Giving state workers some time off

May 13, 2008 By WRN Contributor

Even though a state budget deal appears close, one lawmaker is offering another possible solution to save Wisconsin some money.

State Representative Don Pridemore (R-Hartford) thinks non-emergency should be offered time off without pay to help ease the deficit. He says a three day furlough could result in savings of up to $50 million for the state.

Pridemore also believes contract employees and lawmakers should be offered an option as well to pay back one percent of their salaries to the state.
