 The roads you took to work this morning. The clean and safe water that you brushed your teeth with. The bus that picked your kids up for school.

AFSCME Council 65 members presenting US Congressman Colin Peterson with a contribution towards his campaign from AFSCME International

Story by Appleton Press:

A member of AFSCME Local 2538, Cody Thomson, center, a full-time officer with the Appleton Police Department, was recognized for his efforts that most likely saved the life of a local resident in a domestic situation. Thomson received the Lifesaving Award at the 2012 Awards Banquet of the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association. Once a year the Minnesota Chiefs of Police honor the men and women who represent the law enforcement profession with outstanding valor, achievement and performance for the greater good of Minnesota’s public safety.
The Lifesaving Award is specifically awarded for a single act in
which the officer displayed extraordinary performance in his or her
