PENSION BENEFITS REPORT We need our retirees to vote for Bruce Polkowitz On Dec. 5, the Police and Fire Retirement Sys- tem (PFRS) mailed ballots to all of our retirees for the election of a retired member to the board of trustees of the PFRS. We need our retirees to help the NJ State PBA in electing the union’s en- dorsed candidate. Bruce Polkowitz is the guy we need to get elected to the position. Bruce brings a massive amount of adminis- trative experience and has the financial back- PETER ANDREYEV ground to get the job done. The ballots were mailed on Dec. 5 and our retirees have until Jan. 7 to cast their ballots in favor of Bruce. I’m sure everyone read about Bruce last month, so I don’t want to repeat how he has the experience and credentials to be successful as a trustee, but I just want to let everyone know how vital it is to have Bruce elected as our trustee for the PFRS. If you are retired, please cast your ballot for Bruce Polkowitz! As we enter December and the end of the year is upon us, I want to remind all of you to make sure that you review and 14 NEW JERSEY COPS ■ DECEMBER 2018 update your pension beneficiaries.
