Which candidates agree with the restoration of COLA for our retired brothers & sisters?
Should be vetted minimumally to include their position on this big financial issue for those who haven’t seen an increase in 12 years.
Some very questionable endorsements to some radical liberal democrats! These must have been given for supporting PBA benefits, and not for covering the backs of law enforcement!
Henry, like your famous literary namesake, you certainly demonstrate a clear example of irony in your writing . But the irony conveyed by a classic William Sidney Porter story is certainly of the more skilled variety. So how is supporting PBA benefits NOT having the backs of law enforcement? So it is ok by you that at least one very recent Republican governor short-sheeted the state’s contribution to police pensions? Oh, Henry, please get a clue.
