Its Going To Get Hot In Washington This Summer

It could be a hot, hot summer especially at the State Department. It is turning up the temperature in its offices this summer to save money. It will be a balmy 75 to 77 degrees. It's normally 72 degrees. Officials tell Gov Exec: the State Department typically pays 30 to 40 percent more for electricity in summer than in winter. The exact savings will depend on just how hot Washington gets. The department recently announced it would not furlough employees because of sequestration.
