"I want to thank you for your patience as we continue to discuss outlines of the excluded pay program within the Administration. I have appreciated the advocacy both you [Sr. Labor Relations Representative Bonnie Morris] and Mitch [ACSS Executive Officer Mitch Semer] have given me on behalf of ACSS over the last few weeks and months. We continue to hope that we can release details of the excluded pay program within a day or two that may meet some, if not all, of your expectations."
