"I thank Assemblymember Rodriguez for taking time out of his busy day to attend our board meeting and  meet our directors, " said CSLEA President Alan Barcelona.  "To this day, he works as an emergency medical technician, his son is a deputy sheriff in Los Angeles County and he is passionate about those who devote their careers to public safety and consumer protection.  We were  able to relay to him the concerns our members have about their salaries, the ongoing threats to their pensions and healthcare."
