Pension Changes Pass First Hurdle in Senate

Sen. Jon Greiner spoke most strongly against the retirement bills on the Senate floor yesterday. Sadly, all three won preliminary approval (they will be brought to a third reading before sending them to the House). Our best chance to defeat them is in the House, even though our Weber legislator Rep. Brad Dee says he will sponsor them. Now is the the time to contact your member of the House and ask them to slow down the process and ask for a task force to study the "shortfall". Go to the www.utea.org website and click on "Under the Dome" to find your legislator and learn how to contact them.
