As The Lakewood Scoop reported here, the Motor Vehicle Commission offices across the state were closed on Monday as over 2,400 employees took a state-mandated furlough. Most state judges and many state workers agreed to take two days off without pay as part of a voluntary furlough as well. The unpaid days off is designed to help cut costs and balance the state budget in the recession. However, the New Jersey Lottery will hold its midday and evening drawings as usual on Friday, although the lottery offices will be closed due to the state worker furlough day. Lottery ticket sales will not be affected. Lottery spokesman Dominick DeMarco said results of the drawings will be posted on NJN television and on the lottery website. (Sl)
