CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:8 possession of an H2B visa that mandates they work for the employer who originally hired them. A JI is both a cultural and an employment visa that allows temporary workers more flexibility in choosing employ- ment, although the purpose of a JI is to seek cultural experience during a short stay. Keeping track of employees who have JI visas can become tricky, saud Jane Nichols Bishop of Chip Bishop Communications. "There is a great deal of confusion,"she said, notingthat employees withJI visasoccasion- ally seek alternate employment. In the final forum, Albert Garnett of Stop & Shop stressed the importance of treating temporary workers well given that there is a strong need for such employees locally. "A proper attitude is ever so important in business," he said. "We want [the workers] to come back." The forum was attended by representa- tives of the Cape Cod Council of Churches, the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, the Women'sHealth Network and the Cape Cod Immigration Center, among others. During the afternoon following the forum, the Chamber and Delahunt's office held a session for employers on the Fair Wage and Labor Practices. Topics included wage rates, payroll deductions , overtime and employ- ment law. From the left... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:7 the state's infrastructure are in dire need of repair, and all the while voters request more services. Patrick has called for more local aid to take the pressure off property taxes. But he knows, un- like Tom Reilly, that you can't promise more local aid or maintain services and take care of the in- frastructure at the same time you're cutting taxes. That's not logical, that's not honest and most of all, it doesn't represent the kind of courage most voters are searching for in their candidates for public office. Deval Patrick under- stands that one of his greatest challenges to winning the Democratic primary in September and the general election in November will be to convince voters they don't have to elect a Republican governor to balance the Democratic state legis- lature. Patrick believes that rather than the issue being one of Republicans versus Democrats, what people really want is a bal- ance between insiders and outsiders. From the beginning of this race for governor, Patrick has shown himself to be the outsider best equipped to bring a dif- ferent view of politics to the people. While Reilly and Gabrieli have been spending money on televi- sion commercials trying to convince the party's insider hierarchy to sup- port them, Deval Patrick is crossing the state, connecting with people on a personal level. His grassroots base is sub- stantial and growing daily. To date, he has nearly 12,000 donors and 4,000 volunteers throughout the Commonwealth who have answered his call to re-engage in the political process. While this is clearly good for our democracy, only time will tell whether a grass roots campaign can actually win the big one against candidates with more money and more ihsider support.
