(AP) - New Jersey residents can't get driver's licenses,but can get their motor vehicles inspected Monday. Motor Vehicle Commission offices across the state are closed as2,406 employees take a state-mandated furlough. Vehicle inspection centers are not affected by the furloughsbecause they are privately operated. The unpaid day off is designed to help cut costs and balance thestate budget in the recession. MVC employees are planning to protest outside offices in Newark. Their union says the furloughs don't save money because theMotor Vehicles Commission is self-funded through fees.
