And you’ll be glad to know the final compromise saves the medical interpreter program through June 30.
Now the bigger fight will be over the 2011-2013 biennial operating budget that lawmakers will roll out in a few weeks.

So are you telling me that I now get a 3 percent pay cut and furlough days? I am supposed to be happy the medical interpreter program is intact? I think I am going to have to bow out of the union to afford this cut. Please let me know how to revoke my union membership. I am not quite sure what I am paying for anymore. I understand these are hard times however, we need to look at program cuts and stop trying to balance the budget on the backs of State employees. I have been a State employee for 23 years and have seen few raises and the one was revoked. I have a difficult time believing anything we give up "temporarily" will ever be restored. The contract has become nothing but a book of empty promises.
