Why don't I just take my tax money and flush it down the toilet? it's quicker than paying the salaries of these people but appears to yield the same results.

What many Senators don't know, and most state employees as well, is that the "floating holiday" called Personal Preference Day was never funded by the legislature. Since it was not funded it does not show up on any lists of state holidays. The State Department of Human Resources considers the first 8 hours of annual leave that an employee takes each year to be their Personal Preference Day. Since this bill did not propose any funding for the holiday it would have been no different. We, as state employees, would have to use our own annual leave to take the day off, like many do now.

What "floating Holiday"? I've been a state employee for 30 years and have never heard of this.
