In my last blog, I applauded California Governor Jerry Brown’s move to cut excess cell phones for state employees and suggested he look into auto usage as well. Now I find he has done just that.
His aim with cell phones was to eliminate just half of those being used, which he estimated could save the state $20 million annually.
Gov. Brown questioned the fact that 40 percent of all state employees—48,000 people—needed to be equipped with cell phones, paid for by the state.
