Utah's 4 day work week catches fire

Apparently, in September 2008 Utah adopted an experimental 4 day 10hr work week Monday to Thursday in a bid to save money when faced with increased budget shortfalls. It is now being looked at by other states such as Washington, Hawaii and New Mexico. Not all government services are affected. Obviously State Colleges, and Emergency services have not closed. Only 900 of 6,000 buildings have been completely effected but direct savings are estimated to be $3 million (per month?). The indirect advantages are reduced heating/lease costs, as well as lower employee travel expenses. The Department of Motor Vehicles has actually seen an increase in activity due to more favourable hours.
