Wayne County offices announce closings for furlough days
In order to manage furlough days in Wayne County, Treasurer Raymond J. Wojtowicz and Register of Deeds Bernard J. Youngblood have announced their offices will be closed to the public the first and third Monday of each month. 

“In these difficult economic times we are seeking to provide the highest level of service to the public. With fewer resources, we believe that furlough days provide the best solution,” said Youngblood.

Due to budget cuts Wayne County employee unions have agreed to concessions amounting to 10 percent of wages. To implement these concessions employees have agreed to take two unpaid furlough days each month.

Starting November 7, the offices of the Wayne County Treasurer and the Register of Deeds will be closed the first and third Monday each month until further notice. Should that Monday fall on a holiday the furlough day would be observed the Tuesday after the holiday.
