Happy New Year to everyone!
I am pleased to report that the governor signed the supplemental budget bill on December 28, 2000. This bill included the monies to pay the 3% pay increase, retroactive to last January 1, 2000, that was bargained last summer. I have requested information from management about the timetable for the payments to be made to the membership.
The legislation is available on the Internet at http://www.state.ma.us/legis/laws/seslaw00/sl000354.htm.
