Edward Funkhousen, a clerk with the state of Connecticut Department of Transportation called in sick to work Friday morning, according to state records.
Governor Rell urges calm
State officials are not concerned but they did observe that this was the second Friday within the last nine months in which Mr. Funkhousen took sick time. Governor M. Jodi Rell urged residents to remain calm, “Due to
the large deficit we are facing this is disappointing, but not unexpected this time of year.”
A spokesperson for DOT said the employee was day to day, but was probable for work on Monday.
Mr. Funkhousen could not be reached for comment.
