S-T Donahue represents PEF
New York state lawmakers, local officials promote bill to protect road workers: PEF has backed a bill sponsored by State Sen. Jeremy Cooney. The bill would protect high workers, motor carrier investigators, and motor carrier inspectors by making assault against these workers a Class D felony. PEF Secretary Treasurer Joe Donahue attended a press conference on June 3, representing the 3,300 Department of Transportation PEF members, in support of the legislation. “New York State cannot sit by and allow assaults on high workers, motor carrier investigators, and motor carrier inspectors. They should not be treated differently than other assaults,” said Donahue.
