There is loud but small group attempting to defund and repeal bargaining for SAPD families at City Council. If these groups are successful in defunding and repealing our rights under 143 and 174, the long term impacts to our retiree healthcare and pension fund could be devastating as well as the consequences to the morale and welfare of our police work force.
To stop this movement, the silent majority needs to rise up and start letting their voices be heard to put a stop to this nonsense of defunding our police. Retirees can play a huge role in helping.
This link https://publicsafetyfacts.com/policebudget/ sends the mayor and every city council member an email asking them not to redirect nor defund the police budget. If you do not wish to place your home address on the post, you can use the location of a substation closest to your residence. The message is what is important.
This second link https://sanantonio.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx is to the city council agenda meetings. It lists all council meetings and agenda items. On the far right side of the meeting dates you will find a “ecomment” link. Please open that link and fill out the comment section and place statements to support the police and state “No to defunding” and “No to repealing Civil service 143 and Collective Bargaining 174.” You may also copy and paste the comments from the first link regarding the budget and drop them into the ecomment section of council meetings.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated…
