FIrst off I have to say thanks to the officers who negotiated this contract. I know everyone wanted more, but, I also know we are in a hard place right now as it deals with insurance. I was at the meeting at 0900 and still feel that this is not something that can or should be voted on less than 24 hrs after the information is given to the rank and file. I also have reservations about some of the contract, like no raise for the first year. With that said, I will vote YES to approve this contract
