No doubt there's some cost-benefit issue here. A lot, if not most federal employees would end up taking paid leave that day anyway- also, being a Friday, a significant number (including my wife) already have the day off as part of their 'compressed' schedule. It probably ends up saving money to just keep the whole works closed.
Nevertheless, I expect the Republicans to declare this some kind of unauthorized amnesty and threaten to sue and impeach.
