Legislation Report

October 2009

Chapter 65 shares Congressional District 12, Rep Jackie Speier with Chapter 1317, San Mateo and for Lobby Day, six members of Chapter 1317 met with Rep Jackie Speier and her Senior Policy Advisor, Brian Perkins; the Chapter attendees were President Pat D'Larzelere, 1ST VP Eva Piichi, 2ND VP Judy Lynn Lynne, Legislative Chair Don Wallace, and members Maryann Medina and Minnie Murphy. Several days prior to the meeting, Senior Policy Advisor, Brian Perkins asked for a heads-up briefing on what the Chapter planned to discuss. They obliged and at the meeting chapter embers discussed premium conversion, retirement equity, and NARFE's position on comprehensive health care (Congresswoman Speier already cosponsors GPO/WEP.) Rep Speier was very receptive to the group, listened to their issues, and agreed to cosponsor H.R. 1203, the Congressional premium conversion bill. If you go to the Legislative Action Center on the NARFE national website, you can see that she has since become a sponsor of Premium Conversion. The attendees thought the meeting was very productive and felt fortunate to have direct contact with Rep Speier.
