State delays furloughs with federal relief aid on horizon | News, Sports, Jobs

cuechi@mauinews.com Gov. David Ige announced Wednesday that furloughs for state employees will be delayed thanks to a $900 billion federal relief package that will help cover vaccine efforts. The furloughs were set to go into effect Jan. 1 with the state staring down a massive budget shortfall in the coming years. In a letter sent to state employees Wednesday afternoon, Ige said the state had been waiting months to see if Congress would provide additional federal funds to help address the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impacts in Hawaii. While a bipartisan bill passed Monday by Congress and awaiting the president’s signature does not provide funding to state and local governments for revenue shortfall, it does cover COVID-related measures that the state would have to pay for otherwise, such as vaccine distribution, testing, education and other efforts, according to the Governor’s Office.
