Part of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's plan to reduce state employees' pay an astounding 14 percent (ouch!), today kicks off July's Furlough Fridays, which will affect 169 Department of Motor Vehicle offices, including branches in SF, Oakland, and San Jose. So, if you need to get a new license at lunch, plan on coming back next yet. (Or, better yet, schedule an appointment online.) Expect DMV closures on July 17 and 24 as well. Disability claim and payroll offices as also closed today too. "Prisons, hospitals, the California Highway Patrol and state firefighters will continue to operate around the clock, and people can still go to state parks and wildlife areas," reports the Associated Press.
