A spokesman for Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin says the governor has no
plans to officially declare a state holiday for the Friday after Christmas.
Christmas falls on a Thursday this
year. Tomblin spokesman Chris Stadelman says that state employees who want to
take off Dec. 26 should contact their supervisors.
Tomblin in previous years has declared
the days following Christmas as state holidays, giving nonessential staff an
extra day off.
The Friday after Thanksgiving has been
a state holiday since legislation was enacted in 2006.
