Income tax refunds are flowing again and Friday furloughs are floating in California.
State Controller John Chiang said March 6 he was releasing nearly $2 billion worth of income tax refunds, along with money owed in student aid, senior care assistance and state contractors.
Most state workers subject to furlough in the state’s fiscal crisis will be able to choose their own two days off a month without pay. The move will save the state about $1.3 billion through June 2010 without shutting down government offices the first and third Friday of each month.
The local DMV office in Hollister had been affected by the furloughs, with the branch closed for two Fridays in February. It created longer than usual lines on Mondays following the furlough.
