Chunkster - I've read seven news reports over two days, and none of them mention furloughs, only pay cuts.
Beyond the headline:
"In a news conference Wednesday afternoon, Ige said no final decision has been made yet on pay cuts or furloughs,"
"Although Governor Ige has the unilateral authority to impose furloughs and salary cuts,"
"Rosenlee said it is not clear yet whether the cuts will be imposed as furloughs or across-the-board salary decreases."
"State Department of Education Superintendent Christina Kishimoto said during an online COVID-19 Care Conversation on Wednesday that her department had not yet received any guidance on furloughs or pay cuts from the Ige administration."
If you want to post a source that says it will not be a furlough, only pay-cuts, I'd be interested, but it seems like "pay-cuts" is just being used as short-hand for the possible measures.
Note that if it is a drop in pay the ramifications will be immense as govt employees are keeping many families afloat with private sector work being substantially reduced (unemployment rate is at 10-15% and growing)
