When eighteen Connecticut State Senators passed the paid sick days bill, they did something pretty remarkable.
Think about what’s going on around the nation. From Scott Walker to Chris Christie, politicians are trying to out-do each other, competing over who can be the most anti-worker. Hundreds of members of Congress are supporting a plan to eliminate Medicare as we know it. But here in Connecticut, eighteen state senators did the right thing.
They voted to raise standards for some of the state’s most vulnerable workers, and to improve the health of our entire state. Pretty amazing.

What the Senate did is all the more amazing, considering the enormous pressure they faced from big business lobbyists to fold. We spend plenty of time bashing politicians. But when they do the right thing, they deserve some recognition for it.
