New York State Governor David Paterson, left, is confronted in Saratoga Springs by Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) Capital Region President Kathy Garrison, who is flanked by Public Employees Federation Secretary-Treasurer Arlea Igoe and CSEA Executive Vice President Mary Sullivan. CSEA's response has been swift and unrelenting in a drive to expose the dangers of Governor David Paterson's strong-arm threat to lay off 8,700 state employees if CSEA and other unions won't agree to his concession demands.
