Workplace changes await state employees
State employees already expect changes in their paychecks after July 1. Many are in for changes in their workplaces, too.
Lawmakers wrapped up 135 days of regular and overtime sessions last week, shifting the course of state government and opening the door to more 鈥渙utsourcing鈥 to the private sector.
What will get contracted out remains to be seen, according to the Office of Financial Management and affected agencies. Short term, more state printing might go to private print shops, and later, a private car agency might be allowed to bid for the right to run the State Motor Pool.
