I’ve worked 30 years with the Police Department. This is my secure income in retirement. Hold the Mayor and the City accountable for their mismanagement over the last 20 years.

We work for minimum of 20 years in one of the most physically, emotionally and spiritually draining jobs, we deserve a secured future in our pensions.

It's important to me as a retired Chicago Police Officer and for those that are actively serving right now to guarantee their pension.

I served my City with dignity & honor for over 32 years. I paid my part to my “secured” pension, now I expect the City to do the same! This was a promise made to us to secure our retired futures. Without this, many will have nothing left to survive.

Fund the pension, we worked hard for our pensions. Now they are short on funds. How is that possible because they frivolously gave away our money we need to be in charge of our pension money and the ones who can’t manage it need to go.

As a retired Chicago police officer who dedicated decades of my life to serving and protecting the people of Chicago. Like thousands of other city employees, I went to work every day, did the job I swore to do, made my required pension contributions, and trusted that the City would honor the commitments made to us.
We did our part.
Police officers, firefighters, teachers, and other city employees did not create Chicago’s pension crisis and we shouldn’t be the ones carrying the cross.
