Attached is a letter from the Police Officer's Association (POA) Business Manager, Jeff Roorda, indicating that the POA wants more involvement in pension legislation and reserves the right to exercise "our political influence with the General Assembly for the purpose of advancing the interests of our membership."  Since the Police Retirement System (PRS) represents EVERY commissioned and retired member of the Police Department and the POA does not, it's interesting to see that they (along with the mayor) want so much control over the pension system.

Read the letter and decide for yourself how much control you'd like to see the POA and its business manager have over YOUR pension benefits.
