Karen, if your department is fully funded by federal dollars, then you should not be furloughed. After all, administrative assessment fees that help fund the NSC are not funds subject to the furlough.

I work for an agency that is FEDERALLY FUNDED - yet, we are being forced to furlough! I really want to know how is that benefitting the general fund? State and Federal are TWO different entities and they usually don't cross paths or SHARE their money. Where is the money that Federally Funded State Workers are supposedly saving the State going to? How is that helping the general fund???? Is it making the Federal Government richer? I hear it could hurt this agency because using less $ means no grants to keep Nevada a better place. I really want to know and I should KNOW as a TAXPAYER! Who is really benefitting??? Certainly not my SINGLE INCOME household nor the ecomony b/c I am not spending ANY money at any place other than the dollar store and the thrift store these days. "Merry X-mas, Mom, I got you a sweater with some pills on it b/c I could only afford the thrift store this year - yes, it smells, but it's the thought that counts!"
THANKS FOR NOTHING SUPREME COURT PEOPLE!

Government is corrupt, and these Federal Employees prove that. When these people are held to the same standards as everyone else, then they might merit some respect, but until then, they should be Tarred and Feathered and run out of town.

Chuck Short is an absolute joke.

I heard his former employee Michael Ware is back at the RJC working again. Any verification of that? If so, good for him.

That must make Kathy Hardcastle very happy. She might be even happier with her life if she spent as much time on her daughter as she does apparently scheming against others. Hey RJ reporters, what ever happened to Judge Kathy Hardcastle's daughter's criminal case? Was it swept under the rug?

Kathy Hardcastle might be happier if she spent as much time on her daughter as she evidently does kibbutzing with her chattering and gossiping friends swilling glasses of wine.

The effect of alcohol and her meanness is showing on her leathery and soured face already. I would hate to see her in another couple of years. Hate makes you ugly.

Memo to NSC: It is NOT an either/or proposition. It is BOTH!

4 billion to run the state
2 billion in tax revenue
2 billion deficit

I hope Nevada voters are awake in 2010!!!!

Christy wrote on November 20, 2009 05:26 AM: " the court cited program savings, saying it has returned more money to the state general fund than would have occurred with furloughs".
Then with the furloughs they could have returned EVEN MORE MONEY.
Another sacred cow!
