STOP THE PBS BUDGET CUTS

A Note from Bill Murray:

Hello all,

I wanted to let you know that there seems to be a budget deal in place for New York's PBS stations. The original proposed cut of 50% has been reduced to a 20% cut in state funding. While we hoped to restore more funding, we never would be where we are today without your help and support.

I want to thank the CWA President Cohen, the CWA defense fund and NABET-CWA'S Sector executive council for providing the funding to wage this fight. The Defense fund, the Sector, and Locals 21 and 26 provided $45,000 to help us with this fight.

I also want to thank President John Clark, Vice-President Jim Joyce, RVP Rich Gelber, RVP Fred Saburro, and Pete Sickora, Bill Lambdin and John Ziller. I also want to thank Damon, Evan, and Jake from the Parkside group. Also thanks to Shop Stewards Christy Lance, Mike Melita, Bill Forst, Treasurer Pat Tubiolo, Shop Steward Bruce Ullrich and Jake Seppi for all of their help. Carrie Biggs-Adams deserves a big thank you for helping with all of the e-activist work. Thanks to Bob Hellwitz and all of the New York state locals for all of their support.

I want to thank all of you that sent letters, made phone calls, recruited on the web and went to Albany to lobby. At the end of the day we helped save jobs and we could not have done that without all of you.

Thanks again!!

Bill Murray
