Pension Update!!!!!!!!!
3rd District Members:
 
OK just got done with an e-board meeting with the FPF, here's the latest from Tallahassee, might want to sit down after reading the below proposed bills.
 
But this is real stuff, the bills have been filed the state is 3.2 billion in the hole so they are looking to reduce their expenses and you are one of their targets. They are going after Cities and Counties the local 175 plans which covers our cities and FRS which covers the counties are under attack.
 
Please read below the quick summary of the three bills filed that have a direct impact on your members. These bills would gut our pension and would take years to get back to the same level we enjoy today.
 
The FPF will be meeting with the leadership of both the House and Senate this week to find out where the attacks are coming from, if they are coming out of leadership we have a big problem, if they are just individual bills with no support we feel we can kill the bills in committee. I will let you know the out come of those meetings. In the mean time it's time to react to out legislators in Tallahassee.
 
One simple thing you and your members can do, is make some phone calls or e-mails to our local friends in Tallahassee and let they know they need to "KILL THE BILLS".
 
Tell them to kill Senate Bill 1902, House Bill 1319 and House Bill 1543 we do not favor any reduction in our pension benefits and to keep them status quo.
