State issues public service announcements for furlough days

Radio announcements designed to reach broad audience of Oregonians

Salem - In an effort to reach more Oregonians with the news about state
government's next unpaid furlough day - Friday, April 16 - media outlets
can now access public service announcements on the state Web site, the
Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) announced Monday.

"The public service announcements should help the state notify
Oregonians about the furloughs and closures, especially those people who
rely on radio for their news," said Lonn Hoklin, DAS Public Affairs
manager. "Radio stations can download mp3 files in English or Spanish,
or print a script for announcers and immediately begin to use the
spots."

The announcements serve as a reminder that most state offices will close
on 10 dates during the current two-year budget period. Each day of
closure will save the state approximately $2 million in personnel costs.

Visit the following Web site to listen to or download the mp3 files:
