House Speaker Stands With VSEA Members!

VSEA members living and voting in House Speaker Shap Smith’s district were asked this week to reach out to the Speaker to urge his opposition to the Governor’s additional $3 million cut he demanded out of the blue last week. One VSEA member shared her response from the Speaker with VSEA, and it is very welcomed and encouraging. He wrote:

"I have opposed and do oppose the Governor’s most recent proposal to make additional cuts. We are working with the leadership team and money chairs to close this year’s budget without asking state employees to endure any more cuts. I hope this clarifies my position."
