Letter To The Editor: Byrne Receives Boilermakers' Endorsement

To the Editor:

The Boilermakers of Local Lodge No. 5 are proud to endorse Kevin Byrne for the 94th District of the New York State Assembly. He has proven his friendship to labor with his support of the Public Works Bill this year, that would guarantee a just wage and benefits to the hard working middle class, and a Worker Protection Bill that would keep the skilled workforce gainfully employed at Indian Point through its decommissioning.

Today, more than ever, we need a man of character to represent our families and protect our livelihoods. Boilermakers desire an assembly member on the labor committee that they can count on to provide energy jobs for New Yorkers. They need someone who believes New Yorkers should generate their own electrical power, and not import it from another state or country.

Assemblyman Byrne understands how important it is to keep electrical power generation in the Lower Hudson Valley for our community's economic security and vitality.

Sincerely,
Tom Ryan
President, Boilermakers Local 5

EDITOR'S NOTE: The 94th state Assembly District is comprised of Carmel, Patterson, Putnam Valley and Southeast in Putnam County and Yorktown and Somers in Westchester County.
