		<description>I get combined sick leave and vacation.  If such a bill were to pass, the total days off I receive would not change.  They would simply make some of them sick days.

Although I worked for the government for many years, I&#039;m not the sort of person who lies about being sick, using sick leave as vacation time.  Therefore, the number of days I have off would go down if such a bill was passed.</description>

		<description>While you state that our Mayor has voiced support for sick leave for workers, he does not actually supported such sick leave. There&#039;s a bill introduced by Council Member Gail Brewer and supported by a majority of other members -- but not by the Mayor.</description>
