#1 Your talking less than 6% of the state's deficit will be 'recovered' by this method (basing on about $65/hr employee cost - seems high, but figuring govt. pensions and such).

It's kind of like saving paper by printing on both sides of the sheet. It looks like you're actually doing something to save money without really solving the true problem (like printing way too much unnecessary reports, memos and such).

#3 It's kind of like saving paper by printing on both sides of the sheet.

I kept a souvenir when the Army was doing that in 1976. One the second printing was the schedule for the July 4th activities, on the original side was the final determination and signature by the Commanding General of some poor troop's Courts Martial. I called the distribution center about it who tried desperately to police up the copies they'd already sent out. :)

#5 Here's an idea...
