4 Day Work Weeks? Go to Utah

I have heard some people toying around with the idea on cutting down the number of days worked in order to try and save energy, although I didn’t ever think people would do it.
Starting next month, in Utah, many GOVERNMENT positions will move to a four day work week (Monday - Thursday). It will be part of a year long experiment.
However, everything comes with a price. Although they will be working less days, now they must work 10 hrs/day rather then 8.
Supposedly the proposed plan will save $3 million per year out of the the state’s $11 billion budget. Seems like a lot of change that needs to be done for such a small portion of the budget back.
Public transportation schedules will have to be adjusted, while still satisfy those with the normal routine. Parents will have to restructure day care plans. Also change is always expensive. No matter what it is.
