  • Keep TN Injured Workers' Benefits
    I am a Tennessee employee who has sat and watched the Tennessee legislature and state Chamber of Commerce for 3 years bully the average working man in Tennessee. In a state that has already "reformed" Workers' Compensation 3 times since 1994 and has seen premium rates decrease that whole time, yet another law is determined to overhaul workers' comp in Tennessee. Most cases where workers are permanently impaired because of job-related injuries, under the proposed new law, will see reductions in payments by 66% or more. The bill is being touted as creating a more efficient system that will put people back to work quicker and have them receive benefits faster, but no one is talking about these drastic reductions to the worker that has a permanent impairment or who may not ever be able to go to work again. There has to be a way that we can make the system more efficient without cutting the benefits to the injured worked and our legislature has people smart enough to figure it out if we only work a little harder. We should not harm these injured workers even further solely because we are in too big of a hurry and too short sighted to see how they will be devastated by HB 194.

  • Medicaid Expansion
    Governor Branstad: Forget your healthcare plan that will cost Iowan taxpayers more and go with the federal Medicaid expansion that costs less and will cover more people. You were elected to serve Iowans, not the Republican party.

  • Personal Care Assistants are Necessary for Mentally Ill
    Anyone affected by mental illness personally, has a family member, or knows someone with mental illness understands the detriment of what discontinuing the Personal Care Assistant program of the VOA will be to those with mental illness. A PCA is a person who cares for and attends to the mentally ill just as a loved one would and are strategic consistency for the person affected. The one thing that is of utmost importance to a mentally ill patient is consistency with daily activities and the same interaction with people. Taking this away will be like taking Chemo away from a cancer patient.

  • Increase Funding for Treating the Mentally Ill
    Recent tragedies involving violent acts committed by the mentally ill highlight the need for these individuals to get help and, if necessary, be confined to institutions. I and other family members have ourselves been victims of deranged persons, including one that is himself a member of our family.

  • Transportation Equity for the MBTA and Riders
    The Massachusetts state legislature in an attempt to kick the fiscal can down the road saddled our extensive urban transit system with the debt incurred by the Big Dig (otherwise known as the Big Trough) - an almost entirely vehicle oriented construction nightmare complete with the usual shoddy construction work and defective materials. Worse, they also insisted that the MBTA operate each year on a balanced budget. As a result, commuters, seniors, the entire MBTA ridership are saddled with an unworkable economic plan almost guaranteed to sink a vital urban transit system. As a consequence, promises to execute environmental justice mitigation projects for the communities affected (or afflicted!) by the Big Dig are going unfulfilled because, of course, there are no funds available. This would be easily rectified by the state assuming responsibility for the Big Dig debt and allowing the MBTA to operate as an ordinary business.
