Amidst all the Gibbons-related commotion yesterday, I missed this piece about furloughs and subsequent overtime costs by the RGJ‘s Anjeannette Damon.  A snippet:

In the six months since furloughs were imposed in July, some agencies have doubled, even quadrupled, their overtime compared with the previous six months.

The overtime cost has caused many lawmakers to question whether the furlough program is saving as much as intended, as they face a $880 million shortfall in the current budget.

There’s more; it’s informative; go read it.
