Ed, this is a simple request from a state worker. It is the little things that make a difference. Due to our recession employers should allow their employees to dress down on a Friday, such as wearing jeans as long as they are appropriate, not torn, stained or graphic. All departments are not participating in this. If your salary is decreased that may affect someone who already has an inflated cleaning bill due to the dress code.

I’ll go along with this as long as “graphic” jeans are encouraged, not disallowed.—Ed. Note
