On Wednesday, March
3, the Governor presented his
changes to the proposed state
budget. These changes will restore
longevity pay effective July 1,
2010, and eliminate an earlier
proposal for three additional
shutdown days. As such, the proposed
payroll push would not take place.
We are still exploring
ways to recover the first year
of longevity.
Please contact your
state legislators and urge them
to support the Governor's new
budget proposal.
