LEOFF
1 citizen lobby talking points for
breakfasts/lunch chats with their legislators;
#1. We
are living longer than expected, so, we need to protect the pension
fund health to cover us to the end of the plan. We do not need
to be a burden to the State of Washington.
#2. We
would oppose any attempt to seize any of our pension funds. Funds
can only be used for the exclusive use of the LEOFF 1 beneficiaries.
#3. The
Actuary, in 2005, reported that the LEOFF 1 pension plan would
naturally go out of surplus one day. Taking funds will only cause
the state later to refund the plan.
#4. We
would oppose consolidation of our local boards into one pension
health care location.
The
following Bills were signed by the Governor
SB6167 to
restore authority to the DRS Director
SB5014 on
contribution rates
SB5174 to
