There are dozens of reasons why you should attend ACSS Lobby Day 2012, but some breaking news on pension attacks makes the presence of hundreds of supervisors and managers in the Capitol all the more important.
California Pension Reform (CPR) announced that they are abandoning their anti-pension initiatives and instead refocusing their fight to decimate state employee pensions from the ballot to the legislature.
"We will continue to push our elected representatives to reform our broken pension system and if they fail we will focus on qualifying an initiative for 2014," CPR President Dan Pellissier said in a prepared statement.
CPR will attempt to convince state legislators that you should be retiring later, and with even less.
So how can you fight these new attacks on your pension?
Get involved. Get registered for Lobby Day before the Feb. 17th deadline.
Join your peers at the Capitol in March and tell legislators how important your earned benefits are to you and why California’s pension system works, before it’s too late.
