On May 15 the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) Personnel Commission recommended to the Governor and Assembly that TMG staff summer bonuses be cut by 0.2 months worth of pay (approximately 10%).　As a measure taken in line with forecasts for drastic reductions in private-sector summer bonuses due to the slumping economy, this was the first time ever for the commission to make special recommendations for bonus cuts. This will lead to an approximately 16.5 billion yen reduction in expenditures.
