An estimated 430 Wyoming National Guard employees are dealing with mandated furloughs due to federal budget cuts. The civilian employees are seeing 20% salary cuts because they've been furloughed one day a week because of mandated budget cuts. The furloughs do not affect active duty National Guard personnel. The furloughs began the first week in July. Employees tell the paper that the cuts are going to be a hardship. The people affected by the cuts make up a good portion of the people who work daily at the Air and National Guard facilities in Cheyenne. The technicians maintain facilities in Cheyenne and seven Guard armories located around the state.
