Was Vernon Jones allowed to buy back time in OUR pension for his time served in the Georgia General Assembly?

We should demand that they do more that just send out a ballot with a couple of names on it and have the perspective member write a bio and a platform and give us some info on who we are voting for. Fly the retiree pension rep into Atlanta from Chigago...that complete bull shit. He should be removed now and ordered to reimburse the pension for his field trips.

The early retirement was a farce. There was no plan in place what so ever. Robbie Robinson is a joke, he missed more than 1/2 of all of the meetings last year and should have been removed. Not only that, he spent much of his time in Chicago with his girlfriend, then had the nerve to ask the pension board to purchase his plane ticket so he could fly into town for the meetings. <br />Currently the active employees of Dekalb County have no representation on the pension board. NONE, all sitting members are either gay (only one) or retired WE DO NOT HAVE A VOICE. We are allowing the same rats that took the early retirement for themselves to look after our best interest? Its amazing what we as cops get upset about. Cry over a 12 hour shift but turn a blind eye to rats in the woodshed. It has also been rumored all sitting members want to change the current structure to allow them to stay on. We need to clean house over there. And just why did the pension board (The ED and Robbie Show) vote to hire outside counsel when the County Attorneys Office provided legal counsel. Another waste of our pension money. I think we should demand a forensic audit ASAP and the removal of ED and Robbie.Anonymoushttp://Wise Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-69234268320082940962010-08-19T08:20:43.166-04:002010-08-19T08:20:43.166-04:00It's funny that we have to beg the State of Ge...It's funny that we have to beg the State of Georgia to allow us a vehicle (union) to represent us against our employer, the county. It is not in their best interest to allow us to defend ourselves against them is it?<br />Kind of like the plantation owners not allowing the slaves to educate themselves so the owners would be able to keep them in their place is how I see it with reguard to the PD and the County.
