"On June 15, 2003 (Fathers Day) my brother-n-law Sgt Michael W. Johnson was on his way to a sporting event when he was tragically killed in the line of duty. Michael left behind behind 3 children, his wife, his parents, his brothers, sisters, neices, nephews and many affected friends and co-workers. It has been 8 years, and to honor my brother-n-law I do the COPS Walk in Washington DC to help raise the funds for the counseling and support families need to rebuild their shattered lives. I will be walking the 25 miles again this year. This will be my 4th year participating and I urge you to show your support. Every penny counts even if only a small amount. Please help me put a smile back on a family’s face.

“We’re telling the rest of state government that you have to do more with less,” said [Sen.] Illuzzi. “I’m not sure giving pay raises to a select few is fair to the rank-and-file employees of state government who don’t have access to power.”

"As Portside Labor and others have pointed out, public sector workers don’t seem to resent the fact that their pay lags behind pay in private employment, "because most choose public service for other reasons than pay." That’s obvious, and another reason to quit scapegoating the under-compensated workers who are among our most valuable."
