State Employee Furloughs Likely
KENTUCKY....
The 2010-12 budget which takes effect Thursday requires Governor Steve Beshear to come up with $131 million in savings in the next year through reduced spending on contracts, political employees and other cuts. The budget gives the governor the authority, within certain limits, to furlough state workers. State budget director Mary Lassiter says state employee furloughs will likely be among the budget-balancing moves Beshear makes in the coming weeks.
