The State Worker: Furlough scenario may come with steep price

Anyone who gets laid off qualifies for unemployment & welfare. The Federal government requires the States to reimburse the Federal government for the welfare cost. 2nd, who's going to do the work that is going to pile up with State employees laid off & the rest furloughed 2 days a month. All this means is that State employees will be working overtime at 1 1/2 times their salary weeknights & Saturdays & double time on Sundays-where's the cost savings? In addition, what about the State agencies that generate money for the State such as the Franchise Tax Board & the Public Utilities Commission? Limousine operators & moving companies must obtain permits to operate in California & pay $500 plus quarterly fees to the State which I collect-if I'm laid off or furloughed, this means there will be less money collected from these operators that will go into California's General Fund.
