Got the FOP Newsletter in the mail today and guess what appears, finally, after an extensive hiatus? A retiree list. And guess the totals on the page-and-a-half spread?
- September 2011 -1 forgotten retiree
- November 2011 - 53 retirees
- December 2011 - 18 retirees
- January 2012 - 66 retirees
- February 2012 - 38 retirees
If our math isn't off, that's 176 retirees and doesn't even cover the March, April and May numbers.
We aren't going to criticize the FOP for not having a retiree list for over 9 months - they've been busy with contract prep stuff, NATO grievances and the like. But we're going to gently suggest that these numbers would have, and still might, make a brilliant accompaniment to the billboard campaign to "Hire More Police."
