[Vision2020] Washington state tries 4-day week to save money

[Glenn Schwaller]

 "Feeling the pinch of soaring energy costs, and with a projected budget
deficit on the horizon . . .  (Govenor) Gregoire said Wednesday officials
would meet next week to work out how they'll implement the planned four
10-hour days . . ."

Can someone explain how going to 4 10-hour work days is going to help
eliminate or even reduce by any margin whatsoever either the state budget or
energy cost / consumption ???

"Gregoire said the plan could help save money by cutting electric
consumption and janitorial costs at the offices, and could have side
benefits for the environment and traffic congestion by keeping some
commuters off the roads"   Uh huh.  The needle on my Acme Stooopid Meter is
all aquiver . . .
