I-790 Message
Thanks to all of you for helping with the I-790 campaign
success. Now we go to the next step.
Enabling legislation will be put together to implement I-790.
That is the responsibility of the Department of Retirement
System & State Actuary's Office. We will be very involved
in this process.
The LEOFF II Retirement Board Created by I-790 will also have
to be selected. We are working to set up a selection process
to fill these positions.
There are always rumors after passing initiatives that there
will be a legal challenge. Please keep in mind that if this
does happen it is the State AG's responsibility to defend
the wishes of the people.

Near the end of the initiative campaign
we were about $50,000 short of what we needed. Each of the
groups involved loaned the campaign $15,000. We are going
to attempt to collect the money from our member organizations
that failed to pay.
Your WACOPS delegate will receive a status report of the
campaign. We would appreciate your help in encouraging support
from all our members.
