Park Police Avoid Furloughs

The Park Police says it doesn't need to furlough workers anymore. It's canceling them, effective Saturday. National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis said police have already taken three days of unpaid leave. The agency has found other ways to cut costs. And, with seven months of the fiscal year under its belt, Jarvis said it has a more optimistic view of the financial situation. Furloughs had been expected throughout the summer. Nearly one in 20 federal workers, including some park police, were on furlough Friday because of sequestration.
