From Diane Donohue, president, DSEA:
Today, as a coaltion, we met again to finalize the details of our rally. See below. 
Please bring your families, friends, and anyone who is concerned about state employee salaries being cut so drasstically.
Strength is in numbers. Let's show our strength, with thousands of us standing united against the unfair and irresponsible 8% proposed salary cuts.


People will begin arriving after 3pm; speeches are at 5pm, including DSEA President Diane Donohue. Arrive when you can.

Sponsored by the coalition of state workers that DSEA helped to form, State Workers United for a Better Delaware

Where do we park?  
There will be two charter busses from Dawson Bus Service to shuttle people  from the parking area of the Blue Hen Corporate Center lot (Rte. 113, just south of the Rte. 13 split, northbound side) to Legislative Mall. They will run from 3:30pm to 6:30pm. Feel free to park in the Blue Hen Corporate Center lot and get a ride over to Legislative Mall.

What if it rains?
We're holding the rally, rain or shine. Umbrellas may be in order.

What else should I bring?
Rally signs. Your families. Wear something RED (for Solidarity Week).

What about restrooms?
You can walk a block to the DSEA headquarters building on Water St., or use the facilities in the state buildings surround the Mall area.

• Stop by the DSEA table for your "NO 8% cuts" button and "Community Bucks" to use when paying your bills.
• AFSCME is bringing water; we're bringing snacks.
• AFSCME is also sponsoring a Voter Registration Table.

We'll be taking photos of course, and video of any of you that want to share your stories about what an 8-12% cut would mean to your family.

"We can find a funding solution for Delaware that is sustainable, fair and responsible." – Rep. John Kowalko, Newark

This morning, at the meeting of the leaders of our coalition, "State Workers United for a Better Delaware," Delaware Rep. John Kowalko revealed to the Coalition and the media a list of revenue enhancements that he is urging his colleagues in the General Assembly to consider. "There are many ways for us to buid a state budget that doesn't hurt our economy and our state workers even more." He continued, "I will not vote for a state budget that includes an 8% cut to state employee salaries. That makes no economic sense at all."

President Donohue spoke with Reporter Bill Cook of WHYY-TV following Kowalko's presentation. You can see her on Channel 12's 5:30 news tonight.
