“Please let the Board Members know how you feel about this unconstitutional attack on the State Police Retirement System. Also, please call or share with your Legislators, those on your email lists and through Social Media such as Facebook so we may all let the Board Members know we won’t accept this. They need to hear not only from retirees who will be adversely affected by this, but also by all citizens, who will bear the cost and suffer the negative effects from possible weakening of the credit rating of the state. It is important to encourage as many people as possible to contact them to let them know you are watching and expect them to defend the system and members. The State Police Retirees and the People of Louisiana deserve better.”
—Excerpt from letter to the citizens of the State of Louisiana by retired Louisiana state police officers who are opposed to the last minute amendment to a bill that gave State Police Superintendent Mike Edmonson a $55,000 per year raise in his retirement income. The raise would be funded from a fund intended to provide cost of living adjustments for state police retirees and their families.
