We now know what they want – yesterday, we asked Delaware County Commissioner Scott Alexander about that voluntary furlough program approved this past Friday – asking how much the County hopes to save, he wrote, “We left the number open ended. Henry County passed a similar voluntary furlough that projected 30 furloughed at a savings to the County of around $200,000. We have left it up to the department heads and elected officials in each office to approve each employee based on confidence that office could function without those furloughed employees. We are hoping for similar results as far as numbers.”
