Reconsider taking away ’sweeteners’
What John Patterson’s March 7th article “Searching mayor at the end of the pension sweetener”: In all your wisdom, I see very few members of the police force to retirement plans. They seem to banner for the mayor and the director of the city.
I see that they want to stop any improvement of police and firefighters to retire, the studies are completed. Why? There is no pension from the police downstate bill, and then, somewhere in the vicinity of legislative measures which are not in opposition to the Illinois Municipal League. It is true, and with each passing year.
You use the figure of 75 percent for funding. The last I heard, was the State of Illinois Department of Insurance recommends that the funding of 90% by cities and villages to downstate pension. Most towns and villages in any attempt to not to finance the system, as they should be, and now they cry difficult times. Do you think they can in their own backyard, to reduce costs before entgleisend a pension plan, as police and firefighters, members have completed? If you feel that half pay more than 20 years of service is too many, we think perhaps at the dispatch or the mayor Manager with a pistol or Feuerlöschschlauch face of danger, as the police and firefighters .
Since, for audits, the Illinois Department of Insurance, audits and it is available in all towns and villages.
I voted in the context of law enforcement, since 1960, in uniform, Youth Criminal command and who has now retired. As a member of one of the best and largest, if the police associations in the country, I also lobbying in Springfield. This association was in the same founding father of the police, firefighters Commission of Illinois and instrumental to the request, the training market for all police officers.
The pension local hard assets consist of two police officers, one retired from the police and two citizens appointed by the mayor. If in the wisdom of mayors, appointments indicate that the appointment could be a good thing for the people in the facility, which means for the retention of the pension system.
I live in a village located six members of the police and fire pension boards. The law has only five members. These tables have three and three. How can it ever breaks a vote invalid?
Members of the board of directors to determine the disability pension, pensions, after lengthy investigations conducted by the medical staff. The two members had the right to the disability pension, as well as the cities and municipalities are represented.
If cities and towns can expect dedicated employees of the police and firefighters fields, I suggest that their efforts to “sweeteners” from them. Trust me, men and women in the police and firefighters deserve every penny that you give them, and much more.
