There is precedent.<BR/><BR/>And no, former IPD officers who aren't in SS cannot opt in.<BR/><BR/>It's the feds' rules.

The former MCSD deputies had a chance to get out of it and have their benfits reduced to our level. Guess what? They voted to stay in by well over 90% And just to make sure they did..others filed a law suit to stay in SS.<BR/><BR/>I seriously doubt this isn't a substantial benefit and the MCSD guys were smart to stay in. Now that we're all one big happy police department the former IPD guys are entitled to the same benefit and should be able to opt into SS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-3965689279517986212007-08-06T13:38:00.000-05:002007-08-06T13:38:00.000-05:00Something tells me this isn't a good day for Wilson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-48485128758124038202007-08-06T12:27:00.000-05:002007-08-06T12:27:00.000-05:00When are we going to stop letting firefighters and police run for public office?<BR/><BR/>Enough of this double-dipping, conflict-of-interest baloney!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-89815446152839418632007-08-06T11:56:00.000-05:002007-08-06T11:56:00.000-05:00Refresh me, Bart... how is the city saving money?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-34632352219439147682007-08-06T11:08:00.000-05:002007-08-06T11:08:00.000-05:00But they take home 6% more than the former sheriff's employees.
