--Gloria Barton, Jason Vega, Randell Moody, Robert Frosolone



In Corrections (UCMHC):
“The important benefits we have in our 1199 contract are protected. We have locked-in raises and increments. That’s worth supporting.”
--Charlie Lange

“We recognize the budget crisis and have stepped up to the plate. Now it’s time for Connecticut’s wealthiest residents, those who can best afford it to step up!”
