PEF Fight-Back03/19/2011 It is Time to TAKE ACTION !!!!
****They are predicting that the budget will be passed by April 1, 2011**** The Most important effort PEF members can make is to lobby their Republican Senators to accept continuing the surcharge on millionaires. Without this revenue the SUNY restoration is at great risk and it will make it extremely difficult for PEF to mitigate the employee concessions the State has demanded especially in 2012 through 2014.
