Summary of January 24th
Coordinating Committee Meeting

WE NEED YOU ON OUR TEAM! A Capitol Action Team has been formed. Joe O'Neill will contact the team if he needs people quickly. If you are a metro-area member and can be in St. Paul on short notice for lobbying or attending meetings, you could make the difference in getting our legislation moving and passed. Can you be part of our team?

The Pre-1969 Teachers' Coordinating Committee met on Friday, Jan. 24 at the State Office Building. Joe O'Neill, along with Tom Selwold, briefed the committee on the new legislation that Senator Cal Larson will introduce this session. Watch this web site for a copy of the new bill as soon as it is introduced. Also, we expect to have a Frequently Asked Questions section on the web site soon which will address much of what the new legislation would do to help restore equity for Pre-1969 teachers.

We were honored with a brief visit from Senator Cal Larson. He assured us he will introduce the legislation. He also requested that our group ask our legislators to support him. Members who know of legislators who support our cause, should have those legislators contact Senator Larson.

We were informed that the membership in the Legislative Commission on Pensions & Retirement (LCPR) will be finalized in about two weeks. As soon as it is, we will post it on the web site. The next meeting of the coordinating committee will be in early February, as soon as it can be arranged after the LCPR membership is set.
