Dear PARA Member,
The New York State (NYS) ballot referendum to hold a NYS Constitutional Convention (ConCon) was defeated at the polls yesterday!
Thank you, one and all, for everything you did to get the word out, and the vote out to defeat this referendum. This sort of issue -- a potentially huge one for those who have pensions and are earning them right now -- is one of the main reasons that PARA exists: to provide information and advocate for our members and their earned benefits.
PARA worked closely with the Retired Public Employees Association (RPEA) and several other groups during the lead-up to the yesterday's General Election Day, staying on top of the research and reasons presented especially by those groups advocating for a "yes" vote for a NYS ConCon. We used eBulletins, traditional mailings, and in-depth information on our website to be sure you had all the tools to help us defeat this referendum.
For those of you who have not yet joined PARA, or need to renew your annual membership, and to encourage other active employees and retirees of the Port Authority
to join PARA, here's the link.
And thank you very much for your support!
Your PARA Board
