One of the advantages of completely closing for the day is the additional cost savings associated with not operating the building. The heat can be left down, the lights and computers are off, etc. While this is not a huge amount per building, multiply that by the 4 or 8 (depending on agency) mandated furlough days and the number of state buildings. This can add up quickly.

First Call, Community Impact and Volunteer Network programs are not "overhead". They are specific programs that benefit the community.
The pay of the head of the United Way in another part of the country has nothing to do with the local United Way.
As for the $232,661, I imagine this covers not only the wages of employees, but also the office rent, utilities, supplies, the direct fundraising costs and more.
For the record, I am not associated with the United Way, but I do know what it costs to run an office.

If you look closely at the picture, you will see the darkness on the back of the house is actually a vine, like ivy, that has grown up and across. Since this picture was taken recently, the leaves have fallen off.

Just a tidbit of info on contacting your legislators... A personally written message will have more impact than a mass mailed form letter. It only takes a few seconds to plug your info into a webform and click send and the staffers who screen the mail know this and only make a tick mark for or against on the tally sheet. A personal message will stand out and be noticed... and be more likely to be passed on to be actually read by the person who votes for or against the bill.

jvlhousewife- Go look up Matthew 25 "35 ‘For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? 38 ‘And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 39 ‘When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 “The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’
