Leading by exampleLt. Governor Aiona is supporting Governor Linda Lingle's decision to furlough herself, her chief of staff and other top officials in the Administration. The two furlough days a month also apply to the Lt. Governor as well as all department heads. "We are making a firm commitment to lead by example," Lt. Governor Aiona said. "Our Administration has always maintained that there must be shared sacrifice in order to achieve a balanced budget." The furloughs take effect Aug.1 and continue through June 30, 2011. The furloughs, along with state-mandated pay cuts, save more than $1.2 million in labor costs over the next two years. The action affects 42 state-government employees.
