You've Got a Friend In Me

The PERB's *only* representative of workers, Tom Grimsley, has assured me that he "hears" the concerns of members and retirees, and he plans to vote against the PERS Staff proposal for "recovery" of the alleged 1999 overcredits. He also plans to push for the Board and Staff to look for other ways of recovering these funds without damaging the positions of active members, inactives, and retirees. I really appreciate Tom's willingness to respond personally both to my call and emails, but more importantly to his committment to act in what he believes are the interests of the stakeholders he represents on the PERB. Win or lose today, Tom has earned my gratitude and appreciation.

Hope to see lots of you at today's meeting.
