FRS PENSION UPDATE Governor Charlie Crist vetoes bad DROP bill

Today, Governor Charlie Crist vetoed HB 5607, which would have reduced the DROP interest rate from 6.5% to 3%.

After hundreds of calls and emails to the Governor from the PBA membership and their families, Governor Crist has shown, once again, his unwavering commitment to the men and women of law enforcement and their families.

“On behalf of the over thirty-six thousand members of the Florida PBA, I want to thank Governor Crist for vetoing HB 5607,” said Florida PBA President John Rivera. “The Governor believes, as we do, that this legislation was punitive to hard working public employees, it was proposed in the waning days of the session to avoid public debate, and, most importantly, it sends the wrong message to our public servants - that their sacrifices are not valued by the Legislature.”

“Governor Charlie Crist’s commitment to hardworking men and women is the trait we have always admired most about him. He is truly the People’s Governor and we hope everyone realizes we need him to continue protecting us here in Florida and in Washington D.C.”

Please take a moment to thank Governor Crist: 850-488-7146

Sincerely,

John Rivera
President
Florida Police Benevolent Association
