Well, yes. And you’re winning. But stay alert, California! You’ll be getting more and more quality competition from the other blue states as time goes on.
Govt workers get too many paid days off. Wipe the slate clean & only legally give Veterans Day, Fourth of July, and Memorial day off. If you want any other holidays use leave/vacay time, that’s what it’s for.
P.S. I’m all for quiet Sundays too.
