Stolen Land

Or is it "stolen money"? Is it just me or are others wondering why PERS has never bothered to post a copy of the "Settlement Agreement" that is now the subject of an active lawsuit - the White case? Here we have a document that materially harms PERS members and beneficiaries, to which the current PERB is a principal signatory (member-by-member no less), but which has NEVER been publicly posted BY PERS for inspection by its members or its stakeholders. If members want to see this document, they have to go to other places to read it! You'd think the PERB was actually trying to hide out from members by depriving them of the opportunity to read this UNCONFIDENTIAL agreement. So much for public accountability and responsiveness to members. You want to read it? Go to here. It is "exhibit 1" in the "White" case. There you can read it and weep and see the contempt towards PERS members and beneficiaries dripping from the pages. Perhaps a few hundred emails to PERS and the PERB might finally goad them into posting this document and responding to questions about it. There is a link on the left side to PERS email addresses. If you're so inclined to write, this will give you the names and email addresses of these public officials.
