Legislative win helps DMNA firefighters
BILL GIVES FIREFIGHTERS DISABILITY RETIREMENT
CSEA Southern Region President Anthony M. Adamo, Hudson Valley DMNA Employees Local President Jason Bartley, and CSEA-represented DMNA firefighters assigned to Stewart Air National Guard Base recently joined state Sen. James Skoufis to celebrate a legislative win that will allow DMNA firefighters the same disability retirement pensions that other professional firefighters across the state already have.
Gov. Kathy Hochul signed the legislation, which had been introduced multiple times over two decades but was vetoed by previous governors. Sen. Skoufis, whose district includes Stewart ANGB, sponsored the most recent bill in the State Senate and was actively involved in getting these long-overdue retirement protections in place.

Aug. 20 golf tournament was a success
Our 2021 Southern Region Golf Classic was a success! Thank you to all of the CSEA members and friends who came out to the McCann Memorial Golf Course in Poughkeepsie on Aug. 20 to support this fundraiser, which benefits our Southern Region scholarships and our disaster relief fund. See photos from the event on our public Facebook album.
We were honored to have Sen. Pete Harckham, Sen. Mike Martucci, Assemblyman Jonathan Jacobson, and Assemblyman Ken Zebrowski join us. They all thanked CSEA members for their dedicated work on the front lines throughout the pandemic.
Southern Region President Anthony Adamo said he would like to thank the dedicated volunteers who make this fundraiser a success year after year. There are many people who volunteered from the early morning hours well until the evening on Aug. 20, in addition to the great amount of planning that happened ahead of the event. Special thanks to our receptionist, Geri, who was our primary staff member working on the tournament.
