New York State Senator Neil Breslin speaking at a Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) rally on the steps of the State Capitol. CSEA Capital Region President Carmen Bagnoli stands behind Breslin. 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!" Breslin is a Democrat representing Albany County in the State Senate.
