Move Memorial Day?

Here's an idea whose time has not come. State Rep. Terry Musser wants Wisconsin to move Memorial Day's observance back to its former May 30 date.

Congress erred when it moved the holiday to a Monday to create a three-day holiday weekend back in 1971, Musser says. So he has introduced a bill saying Wisconsin state government will mark May 30 as Memorial Day, and that state offices will close on that day.

He acknowledges one small problem. This would only apply to non-unionized state employees, since union members' holidays are spelled out in their contracts. So will they show up for work on May 3o, only to find the offices closed?

This seems to need a little work.
