“I would like to thank Speaker Shekarchi and Representatives in the House who supported this legislation with their votes today. We are one step closer, and now I respectfully ask members of the Senate and the public to keep an open mind toward this legislation. A pension obligation bond does not solve the city’s pension problems but will help mitigate a broken system. A special election is set for next Tuesday, June 7. Residents can cast an early ballot at city hall during the day. I would encourage all to come out and vote Yes on 1.”
