Thank you to Senator Murray and all those fighting to get fair changes to tier 6 in this year's budget. We're hopeful Governor Hochul will include it in the budget's final version.
Read Suffolk PBA President Lou Civello's statement below.
“This generation of police officers is being cheated out of a fair retirement due to pension cuts imposed by Tier 6, virtually forcing them to pay for risking their lives on a daily basis,” said Lou Civello, President of the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association. He added, “The reward for decades of work should be fair pay and a decent retirement, but young police officers are not able to enjoy the same benefits that previous generations received. It’s becoming an impediment to hiring qualified cops, which is now going to impact public safety.
