Re: Lilly Ledbetter Act

My heart was beating a little fast there for a minute, because there is a Lily Ledbetter who was a teacher's aide in my school, she went to my church and was a good friend of the family. Fortunately, this is not the Lily Ledbetter I know. I will let you know what I think in a few. I got a little heart flutter there from thinking someone I know well may have went before the US Supreme Court.

Hopefully, it will "even things out". At least that is what it is supposed to do. But I'll believe it when I see it.

Re: Lilly Ledbetter Act

I hope it works. I think the discrimination that still goes on is disgusting! At my last job, a man was hired a week after me in the same position. They hired him at $3 more an hour than I was making. And I had more experience than him. And he SUCKED at doing his job!
