Business Agent Tom Perkins Leaving

Tom Perkins is leaving us as our Business Agent. Who ever replaces him has big shoes to fill. History: Tom Perkins took a 6 month unpaid leave of absence in the late 1990’s to get us our 55 retirement. Tom Perkins fought to get us the Blood Borne Pathogens Bill (forced inmate blood draws), and just last month Tom Perkins went to the legislature and saved us from cuts to our pension. Tom was available in the middle of the night and on weekends for us, even though he was Monday through Friday on paper. Tom will be greatly missed and the void damn near impossible to fill.
