Times are tough all over

My cousin just received notice that all state employees are being forced to take a 6 day furlough. The state needs to save $48 million by the end of the year. It is unclear whether they have to take them all at once or can spread out the loss of income. The latter is the most likely option at this point.

Amazing that not only are we all paying for this bailout, but some people, State/Fed employees, are now losing income too.
