Finally the RELL administration has come to its senses and proposed an ERIP.
This will stream line state government and get us back on track to slow down this out of control spending.

i think the General Assembly’s 2010 budget deficit mitigation package was a balanced and fair outcome.

i also believe the Republican’s 2011 budget adjustments make sense too. i think that we as collective bargainers need to really step up and become a big part of the solution this year. if we don’t, we will get steamrolled in the next session – there are going to be many new faces in the legislature next session and they are going to do the right thing by the taxpayers. we need to curry favor now. what the republicans are asking for is big – but i have to tell you, i have neighbors and friends that have lost jobs, houses, everything. we are very lucky.

i call on all the unions in SEBAC to put down the weapons and sit at the table peacefully. we need to be the solution.

thank you.
