Campaign for a Fair Budget

—‘Consider the Consequences’
Raise Revenues—Preserve Services, Prevent Layoffs
Phase 1 – Call-in Days

If lawmakers don’t support a tax increase, thousands of state employees could be laid off. Essential services will be slashed. Pensions may be cut, creating two tiers. Yet many legislators, even some of our most reliable allies are saying they won’t support the tax increase needed to close the $12 billion budget gap. They claim they are only hearing from tax-increase opponents. We’ve got to turn that around!
Call-in Days are Monday and Tuesday, May 18 and 19. Call on either or both days. Get the word out. The union office will be open to make calls. If you make the call from your own phone, report it to President Houzenga so that he can give Council 31 an accurate accounting of support from our local union. Thank you.

Senator Sullivan - 217-222-2295
