Budget cuts force most agencies to close on Nov. 27
furlough stickie note reminder
Tough economic times have severely reduced state revenues, forcing legislatures throughout the nation to make deep cuts in state budgets. Nearly half the states have found that temporary closures and furloughs are efficient ways to save precious tax dollars while preserving the important functions and services of state government.

To address its own budget cuts, Oregon's state government will close most agencies on Friday, Nov. 27, 2009. The closure requires our employees to take mandatory unpaid furloughs on this day, saving Oregon's taxpayers about $2 million.

We regret any inconvenience this closure may cause, and we look forward to reopening on Monday morning, Nov. 30.

In March 2010, more than 130 million addresses across the nation will receive a census questionnaire.
