The state gets a furlough bonus…Think of all the $$ that they will save on not funding the retirements that are based on salary. Workers receive retirement based on their years of service and salaries. Cut the salary and it cuts the retirement. Now the state is double dipping.

Bill, your missing the point. Its not a few more days off, we are still getting the same holidays off, just not being paid for them. So, now you can pay for that beer, but with less money to do it. This is a set of furloughs in disguise.

I didn’t vote for the idiot. Who is posting right now that would admit they voted for Beshear? None is my guess. What a legacy. And yes governor Beshear this is your one and only term. It would be best for you to shut your pie hole and hide. Stumbo DON\’T even think about it, you\’re even worse. Williams, with you nothing would get done. Hunter Bates is the man who has the intelligence to run this state with honor and diligence.

Oh my goodness! Can this government get any more retarded?!?! We can’t afford to print Driver’s Manuals, but we still give tests in 22 different languages. The gov wants to cut state employees off at the knees, but is “improving the line of site” on some roads and making soccer fields with the federal money(among other things.) Most of state employees are already well below POVERTY and now you want to take away a chunk of benefits! Stupid stupid stupid!!!!!

Governor does not understand the structure of being elected and STATE EMPLOYEES.

He is sure to find out, next time around.

One term, and out .

Whose next, Stumbo . . . to be Governor. Or a new GOP?
A childhood dream by the Speaker and that is all it is. His day to be Governor are gone. Maybe he will have to find that out the hard way. Putting his name on the ballot.

Courage is doing what you’re afraid to do.

There can be no courage unless you’re scared.”

I know that I have two friends that work for state govt. Let’s call them karin and rhonda…every day is a holiday to them so I don’t know that losing a few holidays will bother them much

Get rid of all the contract people that make $20.00 an hour and drive state cars. They are a joke and only wasting money.
