MCGEO union collects 5,000 signed protest cards

MCGEO sent the following letter to the County Council today along with its SOS cards, which were filled out by about 5,000 residents opposing county budget cuts. MCGEO's maneuver is part of a strategy to prevent its part of the government - which is basically everything except the schools and the fire and police departments - from being cut too much to preserve the school budget. The public employee unions are now fighting over a shrinking pie. SOURCE: MPW
