However, let it be said, Ed delivered today, just as he always does. His stories are memorable, but his message is important, and it boils down to this: We want our COLA back, even though we probably won't get it back this year, we still want it back; we want the monthly Medicare subsidy moved from $150/month back to the previous $182; we do not want Plan II to disappear; and we overwhelmingly support Treasurer James McIntyre's proposed amendment to the Washington State Constitution to fully support the public pension system, fully.
