NYS Furlough Vote?
New York's Legislature has approved unprecedented furloughs for state workers to contend with the state's fiscal crisis.
New York legislators agreed to force 100,000 state workers to take an unpaid day off each week under an emergency spending plan that will keep the government running while lawmakers try to close a $9.2 billion budget gap.
The furloughs are meant to save $30 million a week.
Isn't this vote illegal? How can they get away with it?
