New York State Assemblyman Ronald Canestrari speaking at a Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) press conference on the steps of the State Capitol. CSEA members, Senator Paul Tonko, Assembly Jack McEneny, and Senator Neil Breslin stand behind Canestrari. A stuffed turkey is featured in the forefront of the photo to symbolize Governor George Pataki's budget. The legislators were calling for a "slice" of the turkey for public employees, but the governor did not leave a piece for them. The turkey was carved at the end of the press conference. A sign in front of Breslin reads "Show Some Respect!" Canestrari is a Democrat representing the 106th District in the State Assembly.
