The State employees "save up" other holidays from earlier in the year, so they still only take the normal holidays.

Excuse me, but the government workers get BOTH Friday and Monday off with PAY?

This is ridiculous and is a HUGE waste of taxpayers money.

In the privae sector we are fortunnate to get Monday off. It is time these coddled, spoiled government employees get bebefits that match the real world.
