PARKING STILL AN ISSUE — At an Albany press conference in March, PEF Region 8 Coordinator Lou Matrazzo opposes the parking closure decision released by the state Office of General Services (OGS). Assemblymen Paul Tonko and Robert Prentiss lend their support to PEF, as OGS failed to meet Article 19 in the PS&T contract regarding the "meet and confer" clause about parking closure plans. The plan calls for all employees who park at the Harriman Campus Washington Avenue lot to be assigned to one of the three state-operated lots in downtown Albany. — Photo by Deborah A. Miles
