Firefighters Establish Website to Distribute info on Benefits Dispute with the C

WPCNR INTERNET NEWS. August 4, 2010:


The White Plains Professional Firefighters have launched an internet website.


The site airs concerns, distributes information, and appears to be a vehicle to continue the fight to retain  health benefits and retiree benefits the city is attempting to take away by legislation. (Currently the matter of whether the city has the right to collect health premiums from fire department retirees going forward is in litigation in the U.S. Southern District Court, which has issued an injunction.)  Various comments note the need to remove members of the Common Council one-by-one through the election process.


The site may be viewed at www.wpruff.wordpress.com.
