State employees’ union praises lawmaker for commitment to working families

 

AUGUSTA – Democratic Senator John Tuttle of Sanford has received a 100% rating from the Maine State Employees Union for his support of working families during the second session of the 126th Legislature.

 

“We are very lucky to live in a state with such dedicated and hardworking employees,” said Senator Tuttle. “I am proud to advocate on behalf of all these hard working families and give them a voice here in Augusta.”

 

Senator Tuttle is one of 19 Democratic senators to receive a perfect score from the union, which represents more than 15,000 public and private sector workers throughout Maine.

 

During the 2014 legislative session, Senator Tuttle supported a one-time increase in the cost of living adjustment for state retirees and funding for merit and longevity pay for state workers. Senator Tuttle also supported the bipartisan, responsible budget crafted by the legislature, bills to increase access to affordable health care, and to support laid-off workers at the Maine Military Authority.
