Douglas administration to cut back on state employees’ travel

Print More

In a budget-cutting move, the Douglas administration is reducing out-of-state, overnight travel for state employees.

On Friday, the administration notified state managers that all overnight, out-of-state trips must be approved by Administration Secretary Mike Smith. In the past, travel was reviewed by department and agency heads.

Smith said the plan is to reduce travel by at least 25 percent by July 1, 2009 to save nearly $1 million.
