Transcribed from the CT-N broadcast of a Capitol News Briefing held on February 27, 2008 regarding Senate Bill 217, providing sick days for workers:

"I think that one of the things that we need to keep in mind is that...for the people that really need to have one or two or four sick days a year...Some of them are working two or three jobs.  A lot of them have young children and have to get them to a pediatrician...and working 50 or 60 hours and not being able to have any flexibility in their life to take care of anybody...this is is not an acceptable way for them to try to raise a family and maintain a household."
