LEOFF 2 BOARD REFUSE SUPPORT FOR HB2350

THE MOTION TO SUPPORT HB2350 WAS SOUNDLY DEFEATED!
We went into the meeting expecting the Board to support this bill and were delighted to hear various Board members speak and show a great deal of reflection on the issue. Many simply rejected the shallow arguments offered by staff as not adequate to meet the standard they needed to meet their fiduciary duty to the LEOFF 2 officers and fire fighters.
The LEOFF 2 Board staff created a couple of documents for presentation as meeting materials at the January 25th meeting. To us they seem like lobbying talking points rather than a careful review of the facts.
We have done a review of the statements in those handouts to present our perspective on the issues.
