Cary Chapter Makes Endorsements in Town Council Races
The Cary chapter of the North
Carolina Police Benevolent Association recently hosted
candidate interviews for those seeking
election/re-election to the Cary Town Council. On August
3, 2009, candidates for District A, District C, and an
At-large race met with a screening committee to discuss
issues that help to attract and retain the best and
brightest possible candidates to the law enforcement
profession.
These issues include 25 year retirement for law
enforcement officers, due process for municipal law
enforcement officers, and the expansion of disability
retirement benefits for officers who become seriously
injured in their first year of duty and have to
medically retire. Other questions concentrated on cost
effective benefit enhancements for Town of Cary
employees and changes to the Town of Cary Personnel
Ordinance. Future opportunities for the PBA to meet with
elected officials and the town manager on matters of
public concern was also part of the discussion.
Based on the screening committee’s recommendations the
Cary chapter Board of Directors voted to endorse the
following candidates in the October 6th election. The
endorsements are as follows: District A –
Jennifer Robinson, District C –
Jack
Smith, and At-Large –
Julie Robison.
