Time is money: DCF looks to shed costs by tracking its employees | The Connecticut Mirror:
Following the lead of private and nonprofit businesses, the Department of Children and Families is considering adding GPS devices to its fleet of 800 vehicles to quash misuse of its vehicles.
In her proposal to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's budget office, DCF Commissioner Joette Katz estimates these GPS devices will save the state nearly $250,000 in the first year by being able to prove misuse of vehicles, verify overtime hours and save 20 percent on fuel consumption.
Note: Good idea. All the states should be putting GPS's in all DHHS vehicles.

BYU study: Grandparents help kids be kinder, more involved
BYU study: Grandparents help kids be kinder, more involved | Deseret News:
PROVO — When Melinda Rasmussen needs to work, her mom takes her son, Brayden, to school. His grandpa is a great role model and companion to the almost-10-year-old, and they build bird houses and play with remote-control cars and generally enjoy each other.
And when money's tight and that book order is due at school or Brayden needs new clothes, it's often grandma and grandpa who foot the bill, Rasmussen says.
