I am sure the PBA will get around to updating us, but just to make sure:
Subject: Pension Bills
Subject: Senate adjourns today without taking up FRS bill
Dear Brothers and Sisters;
SB 1392 was on the Special Order calendar today for the third time, and they adjourned before 1 PM without calling it up. It was rolled over to the Special Order calendar again for Monday. It's not looking good for the bill(s), which is good for us. The printing deadline for the state budget is Sunday, with presentation early next week. The budget requires at least 3 days after publication before it can be voted upon, and the legislature adjourns next Friday.
There's still time to call your Senator and tell them to vote NO on HB 7011. The pressure is working, don't let up here in the home stretch.
We'll update the bill(s) status again on Monday. Your FOP is working hard to protect the pension systems.
No action on the 175 pension bills this week, they are dead for this year by most all accounts.
Fraternally,
James W. Preston
