Thank you, Madam President. This morning, we were joined by members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly with the presence of Representative Cohen, Representative Peyton, Representative Babette Josephs and Representative Waters. 4/12/07 STATED - SPEECHES, ADJOURNMENT So I simply wants to highlight the action we took today urging the members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly to pass the Healthy Families Healthy Workplace resolution. We heard the sad story of Miss Bertha Brown, and she's just one face of many low-income workers across the Commonwealth who do not receive paid sick days and so often are in a position where they have to choose between staying home with a sick child or a sick family member and going to work. So we are simply again urging the Pennsylvania legislature to do this. We were told by Representative Peyton that many of our low-income working families work 2,080 a year without a paid sick day. So ultimately, it helps low-wage and private-sector workers, and we're hopeful that the -- that this public-policy measure will be acted on 4/12/07 STATED - SPEECHES, ADJOURNMENT in a favorable way and ultimately make a difference for so many of our Commonwealth's low-income families. Thank you, Madam President.
Thank you, Madam President. Today, I rise on behalf of organ transplants. As you will see on your desk, there is going to be on the 22nd a run and a walk -- I'll be in the walking part of the group -- next Sunday. (Laughter.)
But we certainly hope that you will pass out flyers -- if you have more, we have them -- and that you will support this request for organ donation. 4/12/07 STATED - SPEECHES, ADJOURNMENT Martin Cabry, if you would stand, Marty. Marty's a part of my staff, and April 22nd will be a year anniversary for a double lung transplant, so he's doing quite well. He's working hard, and we're happy to support him and all of those who need organ transplants in our city. Thank you.
You're welcome. Is there any other member that would like to be recognized? (No response.)
