@ironyak: I've read seven news reports over two days, and none of them mention furloughs, only pay cuts. The first sentence of the link you provided says, "Gov. David Ige’s plan to impose 20% pay cuts for teachers and many other public workers quickly encountered resistance . . . " Anything (or nothing) could happen, but so far they are not talking in terms of a Lingle style Furlough Friday. Of course, Ige is known for being indecisive and for lacking courage, but hard realities are about to set in. He might actually have to do something.
