Ok, first let me say that I am really upset that the government has now taken two of our governors...first Governor Leavitt becomes Secretary of Health and Human Services during Bush's term. Now they make Huntsman Ambassador to China. We're left with his dorky Lt. Governor, Herbert. So this dude doesn't like the 4 day work schedule that Huntsman started for state employees and wants to go back to 5 days. Maybe he needs to see the data...all I did was google it and this was EVERYWHERE....
After 12 months, Utah’s experiment has been deemed so successful that a new acronym could catch on: TGIT (thank God it’s Thursday). The state found that its compressed workweek resulted in a 13% reduction in energy use and estimated that employees saved as much as $6 million in gasoline costs. Altogether, the initiative will cut the state’s greenhouse-gas emissions by more than 12,000 metric tons a year. And perhaps not surprisingly, 82% of state workers say they want to keep the new schedule.
COME ON, HERBERT, GET WITH THE PROGRAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're trying it in Michigan too, in most of the State buildings, but the workers are given the choice of Mon-Thurs or Tues-Fri, so someone is there 5 days a week. It seems to be very successful here as well, and a lot of private companies, including the one I used to work for, are implementing it also.
