This includes about 4,600 employees who are first responders, medical and public safety personnel and employees at the departments of @DCCAHawaii and @DOTHawaii. About 10,160 executive-branch employees will be subject to the furlough. Watch: https://t.co/W3SrCtnIzk — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

However, the harsher alternative to furloughs is layoffs, which has already complicated the lives of thousands of fellow citizens who work in the private sector. Furloughs will not apply to positions that support 24/7 functions, nor to jobs funded with non-general fund sources. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

We explored all other options for balancing the budget and have tried to avoid furloughs. I know how hard state employees have been working during this difficult period and I realize how much distress this will cause our employees and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

The pandemic has had harsh economic impacts on our country, and as a result, every state is having to make difficult choices. #Hawaii is among the hardest hit states in terms of job loss and lower economic activity, because of the state’s reliance on tourism. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

If the furlough is effective for one year, the state will save about $300 million. This is the last major element of the balanced budget that I am required to submit to the state Legislature every December. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

State employees will be furloughed two days a month starting January 1 of next year, to balance the state budget. The state is projecting a $1.4 billion budget shortfall in the general fund for each of the next four years. More: https://t.co/KHJmJ1ccMG — PolitiTweet.org
