Moyer said although his workers are under a union contract, “the county has the right to schedule the work day, so we make adjustments.”
That plan could reduce overtime payments by up to $300,000 this winter, according to Glotfelty.
Other counties, such as Allegany, are unable to redefine overtime because of union restrictions.
I imagine this is going to be the scenario all of the State should a heavy snow storm occur this winter. I wonder if they took that into consideration when they recalculated the budget. If not, the first snow storm we get, we'll be doing more furlough days to pay for.

Wonder what happens if it snows on a furlough day?
Poo Happens!
Ha!
I guess then we may see the Gov, the Mayor or the County Exec out and about with their shovels. O'Malley could go door to door and earn a few bucks for the State kitty.
