Happy Boxing Day!
My sources tell me a class action suit could be filed this week that could throw a major monkey wrench into Mayor Bart Peterson’s plan to consolidate the IPD and the Sheriff’s Department. They also say the class action suit will center around social security. Several officers will file suit to stop the city letting sheriff’s deputies opt out of Social Security, saying the withdrawl would lead to pay disparities between officers. The city recently received word from the federal government they did not have to force IPD and new officers into social security, saving $4 million.
