Jersey City’s Latest Round of City Worker Furloughs Begin Friday
By Jon Whiten • Sep 1st, 2010 • Category: Blog, News, Politics
As Jersey City’s municipal budget problems continue to plague City Hall, a second round of 12 city worker furlough days is set to begin this Friday. The Healy administration says this year’s furloughs, which follow a similar 12-day furlough program last fiscal year, will save the city about $2 million.
Like last year, the police and fire departments will not be affected by the furlough days, and neither will autonomous agencies like the Municipal Utilities Authority, the Incinerator Authority and the Parking Authority.
The following city offices will be closed on these days:
Friday, September 3: Administration; City Clerk; Health & Human Services; Housing, Economic Development & Commerce; Mayor’s Office; Public Works; Tax Assessor; Law Department; Municipal Courts; Recreation Department
