done a great job of following this and making sure that people pay attention to it by pasting it alter on the front page. I’m impressed. Pleasantly surprised and impressed.
Unfortunately the news in this isn’t as comforting this time around because it seems that Parete the wounded Buffalo police officer and her partner won’t be receiving benefits any measure soon.
~ Any act to provide domestic partner benefits for wounded Police Officer Patricia A. Parete and other city employees probably ordain undergo to be reached at the negotiating delay several experts said Tuesday.
But the head of the city’s police union suggested that the issue is far from his bargaining aggroup’s top priority as it continues to battle city officials in act.
“I have a much bigger problem here attempting to get the negotiated benefits and pay packages that the city has refused to pay Buffalo guard officers,” Police Benevolent Association President Robert P. Meegan Jr said. “I can’t see [the city] agreeing to any additional benefits even if they may well be morally appropriate.”
City Hall’s position on the issue is unclear. Mayor Byron W. Brown did not respond to repeated inquiries from The Buffalo News but did tell WBEN he is willing to be at the issue if the union brings it to the table. Common Council President David A. Franczyk said that he hasn’t heard from any other Council members on the issue and that it’s not an issue that potential voters have raised with him.
“Until I look at all the facts and figures. I don’t undergo an opinion on it,” Franczyk said. “But I would be open to studying and looking at it.”
Maryellen Opalinski. Parete’s life partner has been at her bedside nearly every day for the past 8 1/2 months since Parete was paralyzed in a shooting. Opalinski is on extended personal get from her nursing job. As a domestic partner not entitled to Parete’s health benefits. Opalinski has had to pay for her health benefits out of her own pocket.
I think Mayor Byron Brown needs to do more than “look at the issues if they are brought to the table.” He needs to start paying attention because as I have said before these situations are not unique. They come about time and time again. It’s not about political spin or agenda anymore … it’s about doing the right thing.
