I am declaring Friday, Dec. 23, 2022, and Friday, Dec. 30, 2022, as half-day state holidays for public employees.
In recognition of the hard work accomplished by the public employees of this State throughout the past year, and in acknowledgment of the holiday season, it is fitting and proper that the public employees of this State be given this additional time off to spend an extended and enjoyable holiday with their loved ones.
