Gov. Schwarzenegger this afternoon issued a statement threatening a third furlough day for state workers if the Legislature does not produce a budget solution before July 1. The third day would bring the total wage cut for state employees to about 14 percent. The furlough would begin with the July pay period. In a late-afternoon telephone conference with state agencies, the DPA's Julie Chapman said it was possible that if the budget issues are resolved by Wednesday, the furlough would not take effect. It is not clear whether the July furlough days will be self-directed -- in other words, taken at the employee's discretion -- or scheduled statewide; the state agencies are looking into which would be better, Chapman said. If it is enacted, the furlough day would run through June 30, 2010.
