PUBLIC PORTION

Liz Sutula, President of Council 6 and 6A as well as a County employee,

shared that when she was working the elections and was carrying heavy bags,

Assemblyman Bucco came to her aid and helped carry them. He also thanked her

for her dedicated service. She said that in her 23 years of service, she has

never been thanked by a legislator. Ms. Sutula is proud to represent Council

6 and 6A and feels they work very hard. Ms. Sutula said she has had

wonderful experience with Morris View employees. When her mother was a

patient at Morris View, her mother got excellent care from the staff.

Jan Miller, Morris County employee for 24 years as a supervisor of the

County Road Department, said he and his fellow employees work during the

night while others are off, making the roads safe. Some of the employees are

just barely above the level of being on public assistance. Mr. Miller feels

that recognition comes with compensation for the employees.

Michael Sanchelli, Oak Ridge resident and a 22 year County employee,

praised County Engineer Hammond for his fabulous work over the years. During

snow storms he said that his employees are out all night making the County

roads safe because they are so dedicated. Mr. Sanchelli feels his employees

get so little in salary that there is no incentive and in return they get a

zero increase.
