Meeting With Governor

Back to Home Print This Page Email This Page
On June 8, about 80 members of the Private Sector paid a visit to Governor Patrick at the State House to request a meeting to talk about Quality Care.

On July 25, the Governor attended our chapter executive board meeting - the first time in our 48-year history that any governor has come to a Local 509 chapter meeting. He spent an entire hour with us; it is very unusual for a governor to spend that much time at a constituent group meeting.

Governor Patrick engaged in a freewheeling dialogue with us, accepting our criticism and anger respectfully, answering our questions as best he could, and explaining the position the fiscal crisis has put him in.


Members to Governor: "There's a Hole in the Bucket for Human Service Workers"
