More than a little upset to say the least.<BR/><BR/>I decided to punch out of state service because of the stress of being a budget manager for a state agency and not getting much joy in it. I also didn't like what I was seeing coming down the road from the Teddy and McPherson steamroller company.

I'll do something after Thanksgiving. Right now is not the best time for a petition. The week after Thanksgiving will be an excellent time for posting a petition. I'm still mulling its contents, but I'm sure it will have something to do with Judge Kantor holding the PERS Board in contempt of Court for failing to obey the Oregon Suprememrfearless47https://www.blogger.com/profile/03454690519716783056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957094.post-22912991954170783462007-11-20T12:59:00.000-08:002007-11-20T12:59:00.000-08:00The only Oregon official who has ever even respond...The only Oregon official who has ever even responded to my questions regarding PERS' piracy is Richard Devlin.TruthSeekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08800567590156927199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957094.post-22526920800769746452007-11-20T10:06:00.000-08:002007-11-20T10:06:00.000-08:00I certainly will participate.

I'll see what I can cobble together and get posted for tomorrow. One problem is that the post will get buried quickly unless I pull another trick like I did with the Document Library. Also, people will have to be more open about their identities since petitions have no validity if they aren't signed by real people.

Something like the petitions that I get from other organizations. It seems like that would be a very easy way to organize active and retired PERS members who log onto you site.
