Some state governments are making the move to a four-day workweek to save on energy costs, but Maine is not among them. Not yet, anyway.

Joy Leach, a spokeswoman for Maine Gov. John Baldacci, said the governor is reviewing options for a four-day workweek, but has not yet made a decision. She said Baldacci is awaiting the final recommendations of an emergency task force before making a conclusion.

This summer, Baldacci signed an executive order urging state employees to teleconference when possible and instructing managers to scrutinize travel requests.
