Republicans opposed programs benefiting workers

The 2002 Legislature passed a number of good bills that bring real and substantial benefit to working families.

The five issues were: Health Insurance Regulation; Wage and Hour Protection; Worker Retention; the Employment Training Fund; and Prepaid Health Law.
