MEA Votes

We've already heard how Speaker of the House Andy Dillon's plan to consolidate benefits for over 400,000 public employees, including those working in education, would cost our state over $500 million in the first year alone. The results from a new survey released yesterday shows that over a 59 percent majority opposed the legislation when first asked, and after hearing arguments both in favor of and against the proposal, opposition grew to 71 percent.
