I am not a supporter of furloughs. I think you are better off, right-sizing the size of government. Getting the size of a workforce that we can afford, as opposed to penalize everyone with a certain amount of hours per week. The problem with furloughs is everyone gets hurt. We don't really right-size the government. I would be in favor of attrition. Obviously, 10-to-12,000 people separate from the state every year. If we had a hiring freeze we would be down 36,000 workers over three years. And then, selective reduction. The truth is, we have a government that we cannot afford and we are going to have to right-size it.
