He says they did a survey of states, and of the 42 they contacted, 31 are remaining open and 10 or 11 are closing, and Hawaii already had a holiday. Vilsack says state employees will recognize the occasion.He says they will have a moment of silence at the time the service so employees can reflect or say a prayer. Vilsack, a democrat, will attend the funeral in Washington, D.C. along with the governors from the other states.
