| 151 | CSM (DET) David M. Warner | The city presented this as helping its employees, in my case police officers, weather the financial loss of ordered military deployment. When in fact, an E-4 (enlisted pay grade 4) makes more money than a NYC Police Officer. I have several police officers from other jurisdictions whose city or state governments are allowing them to keep both their salaries (police and military) in recognition of their sacrifices to their country. |
| 152 | michael donohue | We need to treat our veterans better |
| 153 | PETER HARTNETT | Sadly,we went to war so that no other 9/11 type terrorist attacks would happen again on American soil, and they have'nt
Look what has happened to all our allies since 9/11 , They have been attacked on thier soil. All of them!!!!
This is one hell of a way to treat someone who said "Yes I will go",(plenty of people got out of going by coming up with bogas excuses).
DONT PUNISH YOUR YES PEOPLE WITH THIS PAYBACK POLICY, THEY WILL BE YOUR "YES" PEOPLE SHOULD SOMETHING HAPPEN AGAIN HERE.
REMEMBER THE SOLIDERS DONT MAKE POLICY, THEY JUST FOLLOW ORDERS.SOME LOOSE THEIR LIVES FOR AND OTHERS GET MAIMED. |

| 161 | Neil Donohue | Take care of those who sacrificed and died for us. It is the right thing to do, if that is being done anymore. |
| 162 | Chris J. Rodriguez | They served our country honorably; therefore, they deserve some extra benefits and should not be required to repay these funds. |

| 169 | Anonymous | ncy is unfair in the treatment of it's veterans who serve our country. I respectfully hope they reconsider this matter and give us a break by allowing us to payback our military basepay ONLY. |

| 180 | Anonymous | They served our country to combat terrorism and they keep us safe as police officers. Give them a break. No pay back. |
| 181 | frank fitts | It is a disgrace that NYC is forcing our veterans (1600) to repay for the service they gave to this country..where are our City Councilpersons??? |

| 184 | Anonymous | NO CITY EMPLOYEE MADE OUT ON THIS MILITARY PACKAGE DEAL, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE PAYING BACK MORE THAN WHAT THEY RECEIVED. THIS IS NOT AN INTEREST-FREE LOAN WHEN WE PAID TAXES ON THIS LOAN. THE AVERAGE TAXPAYER PAYS AT LEAST 28% IN TAXES AND WITH THE COMBINATION OF BOTH CITY AND MILITARY SALARIES. THAT EMPLOYEE WITH THE DUAL SALARY WOULD ALSO BE BUMPED INTO A HIGHER TAX BRACKET, IN TURN PAY MORE TAXES AS WELL. AFTER 3 YEARS HAVE GONE BY WITHOUT RECEIVING A CITY REPAYMENT BILL, TAXES THAT HAVE BEEN PAID, WHICH CANNOT BTW BE RETRIEVED AFTER THE THIRD YEAR AS A TAX REFUND OR TAX CREDIT. ALSO, WITH THE COMBINATION OF BOTH SALARIES, CERTAIN ENTITLEMENTS WERE LOST BECAUSE SUPPOSEDLY "THESE PERSONS NOW (THEN) MADE TOO MUCH MONEY" AND BECAME INELIGIBLE FOR THEIR APPLIED ENTITLEMENTS (I.E. FOOD STAMPS WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF RECEIVING). THIS WAS NOT A WELL THOUGHT OUT PLAN, WHICH HAS ULTIMATELY ENDED UP HURTING A SOLDIER & THEIR FAMILY RATHER THAN HELPING. |

| 186 | John Mason | I was more than willing to payback the city's money that I owed, till I learned of all the extras on top of the base salary.
IE: BAH, BAS, Gross monies. This only shows that the city is trying to make back more then they gave us.
Thank you. |

| 189 | Helen Anderson | Those who have risked their lives for their city and now this country should not be forced to endure financial hardships upon their return. We strongly urge our elected officials to support resolution #399. |

| 193 | Anonymous | The taxation issue of gross pay verses actual net earned vary from case to case. If a member retained every cent of the take-home pay. That member will still be from 35-55% short of the gross owed. They are required to repay monies they have in fact not received...........
AMEN TO THAT!!!!! |
