Senator Winfield Statement on SEBAC Vote

Senator Gary Winfield (D-New Haven) released the following statement regarding today’s senate passage of the SEBAC agreement:

“I voted today in support of the SEBAC agreement because I see this as something that will be helpful to people who are hurting in this state,” Sen. Winfield said. “The $1.5 billion dollars that we will save over the next two years as a result of this agreement is $1.5 billion that we won’t have to cut out of the budget, out of programs that provide vital services to our communities, programs that are going to be cut and which are struggling to survive. What we did today was a positive thing for all people in Connecticut, well beyond just those who are union members.”
