At tonight's BRA meeting, frustration with the delays in our negotiations were voiced and addressed. The Assembly agreed to the following plan.
1) If no settlement has been reached by August 16, Bruce Meirowitz will reach out to our lobbyist in Albany, to arrange for a meeting on August 26 in Albany with the people responsible for the delays.
2) At that meeting, we will make our case. To assist us in this effort, A) we are asking the JBLC to send all exisiting rescue pictures to dennismakane@yahoo.com, along with any info @ the victims. B) Take pictures of any new rescues. C) If you have any rescue numbers (dailies, etc.), send that as well.
All pictures MUST be in my hands by August 22. This packet will then be presented at the August 26 meeting. Among other things, we want to show them that we are more than just numbers on paper.
3) The second rally is scheduled for Labor Day weekend, either Sept. 4th or 5th. 200 shirts have already been ordered. A special BRA meeting about that event will be held at WBH on Wed. Sept. 1, at 7:30 PM
