Top Row Good Guys: Didi Barrett, Kevin Cahill
Bottom Row Bad Guys: Clifford Crouch, Peter Lopez

The Good Guys

Kudos to Assemblyman Kevin Cahill who not only voted for A06130, the NYS pay equity bill, he co-sponsored it. And, to new Red Hook-based Assemblywoman Didi Barrett. They support equal pay for equal work. Thank you.

The Bad Guys

You should know, however, that Assemblypeople Peter Lopez (Saugerties and Greene Cty) and Clifford Crouch (western Ulster) both voted against the pay equity bill last week.

Senator Bonacic didn’t have to vote. The NYS Senate didn’t even bother to bring a pay equity bill out of committee. It was clear, however, when we visited his office in Albany on Pay Equity Day, that the Senator is opposed to the pay equity bill.

The Kingston AAUW wants our elected representatives to know that
how they vote effects how we vote.
