It's simple economics....IF they close the county government then everybody gets a paid day off from work AND those county employees forced to work, public safety, sanitation or whatever get paid double time. This is all costs $$$. Since the gubmint doesn't give a rat's ass about their people they get to have their cake and eat it too by "allowing" the employee to use their unscheduled leave. So if they want to stay home for safety they do it on their own time or if they choose to go to work and bust their ass in the parking lot, management can say."we didn't force them to come in'. C'mon, you wouldn't want then to siphon funds away from welfare doled out to illegal aliens or section 8 housing would you?
