Why is this on a blog relating to Corrections? Because LELS Corrections Officers are forced to pay into the MPPOA and the MPPOA has meddled in our business.
Now ALPHA NEWS is reporting that the MPPOA has endorsed Angie Craig for Congress!
Among other things the article points out she supported the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act and a 'staffer' encouraged donating to the Minnesota Freedom Fund on her Twitter account.
She also accepted $5,000 from AOC's Super Pac, and Representative Alexandria Cortez is a leader in the defund the police movement.
The MPPOA under the leadership of Brian Peters seems to be taking the track of many of the larger Unions and endorsing politicians that don't seem to have the support of the rank and file or even the best interest of the Union.
Sometimes things make no sense at all. For instance, readers of this blog will remember the MPPOA wrote a letter to the LCPR supporting 911 Telecommunicators being put into our PERA Correctional Plan. Yet no Dispatchers or Corrections Officers can be full members of the MPPOA, they can only be Associate members with no voting rights! So why was Brian Peters in our business?
Considering that Brian Peters last job was with Corporate America, the Target Corporation, before heading the MPPOA may shed some light on this.
