TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — In the eyes of many New Jersey state workers, the governor is the Grinch who stole the day after Thanksgiving.
New Jersey used to be among at least 24 states that let their workers take the day after Thanksgiving as a paid holiday, not by law but as a proclamation by the governor. But this year, Gov. Jon S. Corzine halted the decades-old tradition, saying state employees who want that Friday off to create a four-day weekend would have to use a vacation or personal day.
