SF2198 and HF2585 threaten PERA Correctional Retirement Plan!

 SF2198 now has a companion Bill in the House, HF2585.  

In this Bill it reads:


Please read the previous post on this detailing all of the reasons Correctional Officers have their own pension and 911 Telecommunicators don't fit in.

But wait, There's more! There's now another Bill SF2485 that creates a working group to "Consider changes to the pension benefits of 911 telecommuniuncators."  This working group has everyone on it BUT someone in the PERA Correctional plan! Read the list HERE.

And most puzzling of all is a letter from the MPPOA signed by Brian Peters throwing their full support for this Bill that will decimate our Pension! This is the SAME MPPOA that fought against our Correctional Plan when we were forming it, and was very vocal about not wanting us in their Police and Fire Plan. 

In this 'woke age of equity' one has to ask why Corrections Officers were NOT allowed to transfer their credit from the General Plan to the Correctional Plan when we moved over, but it is proposed that 911 Telecommunicators can transfer theirs over. We had to work years to be Vested, but 911 Telecommunicators  will be able to drain, I mean draw from our pension at once. A new Detention Deputy/ Correctional officer has to work 5 years to be Vested! 

Hey Brian Peters, how many 911 Telecommunicators  were assaulted by inmates this year? Spit on? Had piss or shit thrown at them? Caught Covid from inmates they were locked in with? Were beat to death? Shanked? You're very generous with the Correctional Plan, how about suggesting they go into your Police and Fire Plan?
