California furlough days worsen the pain for DMV customers

The L.A. Times reports:
With no new state budget in sight, California is forcing nearly 150,000 state workers to take furlough days again this fiscal year. Similar furloughs last year saved the state $2 billion. New unpaid days off could add another $147 million per month to the savings.

The mandatory furloughs amount to about a 14% pay cut for workers.
