Another example of innovative ways to save money being pushed by Republican governors (for those wondering, these men, Pawlenty, Huntsman, Daniels, etc., are the leaders of our party):
Last year, Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman put most state employees on a four-day/10 hours per day work schedule. The goal was to save money on energy and utilities.
Since then, energy use has been cut by 13%, and there are other, positive consequences to the plan, as well.
Employee surveys have also shown that most state workers like the new schedule -- absenteeism and overtime are down and customer complaints have steadily dropped. Even wait times at the Department of Motor Vehicles have decreased under extended hours Monday through Thursday.
