Huntsman's Four-Day Work Week Worked

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.
