State government to mostly shut down for four days a year as part of employee furloughs

State government would mostly shut down for four days a year as part of employee furloughs aimed at fixing the state budget deficit.

“We are anticipating that most of state government will be closed down during these days,” said Jennifer Donnelly, director of the Office of State Employment Relations.

Some state facilities such as prisons, universities and health care units may not be able to shut down on those days and would remain open, Donnelly said.
