JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Governor Haley Barbour says hisadministration is looking at a four-day work week for state
employees as gasoline prices continue soar.
Barbour says he plans to release some recommendations before
schools begin fall classes, if not sooner.
Several Mississippi school districts, municipalities and
counties are discussing means of reducing fuel costs. A four-day
work week is among proposals under consideration.
Barbour says state and local governments have got to be looking
at ways to conserve energy, both to save money for the taxpayers
and out of fairness and respect for public employees.
