RI GOP Media Release
I am sharing this media release from the Rhode Island Republican Party from a couple weeks ago. It comments on the unprecedented and very inspiring move from Mayor Alan Fung. I'd like to see what your comments are.
On the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of the City of Cranston, Mayor Allan Fung didn’t want to spend taxpayer money on a big celebration for the politicians to get the media attention - instead he gave the City a gift that they will be appreciating for the next 100 years; 401k’s for new city hall employees. In an unprecedented mayoral accomplishment, Mayor Fung and the members of the Teamsters union came to common sense agreement to eliminate old-style public employee pensions and allow the city workers to control and protect their own retirement investments through defined contribution plans.
Said Rhode Island Republican Party Chair Giovanni Cicione: “This is an unprecedented victory for the taxpayers of Cranston, and shows that strong Republican leaders can work hand-in-hand with forward thinking union membership to get real results.”
“Union members will now control their own destiny and have the ability to manage their retirement money without relying on the un-funded government plans, and Allan Fung has proven today that he is the type new Republican leader with the ability to turn this state around.”
