You did not bust open the ballot issue. Laurel did. Long before you 2 boobs she reported it to Grunko. You know Laurel right, the one who single handedly stopped negotiations, disciplinary hearings and labor mgmt meetings?

Today the LRC denied our petition to join NEPBA
There is talk of going to court on the issue but nothing concrete. I think they( NEPBA) want to know if our members want to continue to pursue the issue

Facing budget gap, Patrick announces plan to cut 750 jobs
April 14, 2009 04:16 PM Email| Comments (66)| Text size – + By Matt Viser, Globe Staff

Governor Deval Patrick this afternoon announced that the state was immediately cutting 750 jobs and ordering mandatory furloughs to help close a $156 million mid-year budget deficit.

The deficit is expected to grow by another $400 million, Patrick said, and would be closed through a variety of proposals that need legislative approval.

“The economic downturn is hitting state government especially hard, leaving us with tough choices among miserable options,” Patrick said at a State House news conference.

Patrick has also asked Administration and Finance Secretary Leslie Kirwan to begin negotiations with state collective bargaining units over a range of concessions. Patrick refused to disclose what the proposed concessions would be.

Patrick is also planning to use $128 million in federal stimulus funds to help balance this year’s budget.

The problems Patrick outlined today will only begin to solve the budget crisis for the remainder of this fiscal year, which ends June 30. The House is scheduled to release a budget proposal tomorrow that is expected to include deep budget cuts.

Patrick was forced to close a $1.4 billion shortfall in the state's $28 billion budget in October and an additional $1.1 billion shortfall earlier this year.

With the economy staggering, the state's finances are also struggling. With people earning less and spending less, and businesses profiting less, the state is collecting less income, sales, and business taxes.

Patrick on Monday criticized leaders of the House and Senate for passing watered-down legislation to transform the state's transportation network. He said the bills didn't go far enough in saving money.

He also criticized the Legislature for not passing overall budget-balancing measures he proposed in January, the Globe reported today.

a FEW FACTS ABOUT KEN GORMAN....KENNY GORMAN HAS STATED 'MY GOAL IS TO SERVE ON TERM AND TO CONDUCT BUSINESS IN AN OPEN AND FAIR MANNER WITH THE MEMBERSHIP. MY HOPE IS TO ESTABLISH A SENSE OF SOLIDARITY AND COOPERATION CHAPTER-WIDE. TO REPLACE RUMOR WITH FACTS AND RHETORIC WITH RESULTS. TO BUILD A CHAPTER THAT WILL ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION AND ENGAGE THE MEMBERS'.

THE LAST TIME KEN GORMAN WAS PRESIDENT OF THE CHAPTER , IT WAS IN THE EARLY 1990'S. HE WAS THE LAST PRESIDENT TO NEGOTIATE WAGE PARITY WITH THE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS.

AS PRESIDENT, KEN GORMAN WILL FILE DEMAND TO BARGAIN CHARGES WHEN ANY NEW DUTIES ARE FORCED ON THE MEMBERS. FURTHERMORE, KEN WILL FOLLOW THROUGH WITH CHARGES RATHER THAN LET THEM SIT IDLE.

AS PRESIDENT, KEN WILL HAVE THE RECORDING SECRETARY AT ALL OFFICIAL MEETINGS TO RECORD THE MINUTES. THESE MINUTES WILL BE SIGNED BY BOTH PARTIES AND THEM PUBLISHED FOR THE MEMBERS TO VIEW. NO MORE SECRET DEALS.

AS PRESIDENT, KEN GORMAN WILL SCHEDULE MEETINGS AT ALL FACILITIES, COMPLEXES, OR OFFICES. HE WILL MEET WITH THE MEMBERS, INFORM THEM OF DEVELOPMENTS AND GET MEMBERS FEEDBACK.

AS PRESIDENT, KEN GORMAN WILL FIGHT TO HAVE THE $100,00 PLUS BANK ACCOUNT OF YOUR UNION DUES RETURNED. THESE ARE MEMBERS' DUES AND SHOULD BE PUT TO WORK FOR THEM. IT IS NOT A PRIVATE WAR CHEST. KEN AS PETITIONED THE PRESIDENT OF IBCO-R1-75 FOR A COMPLETE AUDIT AND RETURNS OF THE FUNDS.

AS PRESIDENT, KEN WILL ONCE AGAIN HAVE THE PRESIDENT LOBBY THE LEGISLATURE AND ENGAGE PUBLIC OFFICIALS ON THE MEMBERS BEHALF. HE HAS AN ESTABLISHED WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH SEVERAL LEGISLATORS AND WILL REGULARLY BE ON THE HILL TO LOBBY AND MONITOR ACTIVITES.

THIS WILL BE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT WITH LOOMING BUDGET CUTS AND PENDING LEGISLATION. ADDITIONALLY THE LEGISLATURE WILL BE ADDRESSING SEPARATE ISSUES SUCH AS PENSION REFORM AND INCREASES IN HEALTH INSURANCE. IT WILL BE IMPORTANT TO HAVE A VOICE READY TO REPRESENT US ON DAY ONE.

THIS IS KEN GORMAN, AND I AM GLAD TO SUPPORT HIM...JACK NAYLOR, SR.

i had a step 3 hearing over 2 years ago and bob still hasn't told me what the outcome was. Every time i asked him he just blew me off. then i filed another grievance and bob told me it would take 5 weeks to get to have a step 3 hearing, 8 months later i was still waiting. you are full of it.

Why vote for a president when that person doesn't bother to vote on the contract?
