Controller Candidates Endorsement Questionaire: Brett Mandel

  • Endorsements

Firstly thanks to all three Democratic candidates for Controller coming out to the April meetup - Alan Butkovitz, John Braxton and Brett Mandel. The lively exchange was appreciated.

Also as part of the endorsement process a series of endorsement questions was sent to all three candidates. Unfortunately, only one candidate was able to complete the questions within the set deadline. Fortunately, that candidate's answers reflect an impressive depth of thought and consideration.

That candidate was Brett Mandel. Please take time to review his answers not just in consideration of your endorsement vote, but also because several of the answers are quite timely in consideration of the current local budget crisis.

Casey: Bill Protecting Worker Rights More Necessary in Recession

March 10, 2009

 

WASHINGTON, DC- Following a Health, Education, Labor and Pensions hearing today on Rebuilding Economic Security: Empowering Workers to Restore the Middle Class, U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) released the following statement:  

“In my judgment, it is appropriate at this hearing to discuss the Employee Free Choice Act, but also the trauma that the American family is living through in this recession.  We need to talk about helping to provide economic security for families who don’t have it.  One of the best ways to ensure economic security for workers and their families is for that worker to be a member of a union.
