Personally, I think the idea of a 4-10 work week is an exceptionally bad one. During the summer months, my wife works 4-10s and I don't get to see her until 7:00 or 8:00 at night, which means I either eat dinner alone or have a very late dinner and if I eat late, than I go to bed late, get less sleep, end up groggy the next morning and in a generally bad attitude.

Also, if the whole idea is to help state employees save money on gas, well that's a myth. I figure I use a gallon of gas per day driving to and from work. That means I'd save a whopping $4 a week under the governor's plan. That's not even enough to buy me lunch. Oh, I'm sure it would be great for anyone driving a stupid ugly vehicle that gets 10 MPG, but anyone driving a Prius gets royally screwed. The whole plan is #$!@&^ up, IMO.
