Pension Board Special Election

The retiree representative on the Pension Board passed away last month. We heard there's going to be a special election to fill the vacancy, but we've heard next to nothing about any candidates running.

Last election, the FOP played an outsized role in who was running for the retiree spot.

Who's up his time?

Hopefully a good guy from the north side gets it if you know what I mean.

At this point, who the F cares. The current regime is caught red handed stealing OUR funds and not a thing is done about it. We need to clean house.

lonergan didn’t do shit for the retirees, jcat backed him because he was a friend.

Brock is the active trustee but he votes no on absolutely everything and rubs everyone the wrong way.

What a sad twisted state of affairs

Disanti is not running. He took a position as chief financial officer for FOP cruise lines. They are based in FL and accept cash only.

I’m about tired of the FOP picking candidates.

Whatever any retiree does PLEASE do no vote whomever the FOP endorses. Vote for the best candidate. The one who will Actually represent your interests.

This election was posted on the pension website after the passing of Tom Lonagian. If the members would check on the website occasionally, (you, me, us) would stay informed. Keep in mind though, the retired trustee position is a non-paying one. Having said this, the pension haters need not apply. Craw back under you rock and be thankful your receiving a retirement benefit.

OT: By the way, its getting reported that BlowJob Johnson is looking to possibly have City Workers Laid off mid-year, also affecting police and fire..How?? It's yet to be seen. So, instead of really sitting down and taking a hard look at wasteful spending, let's lay off off employees. 1 thing is guaranteed, it wont be any of his inner circle cronies.

That guy did absolutely NOTHING, while on the pension board. Put Rosemary in there to ask questions. Like her or not she would be a pain in their asses

Pension board officers do nothing for us. Ask Wright who ghost payrolls.

This is why. A person seeking to run as a candidate in the Special Election must obtain the candidate petition
from the office of the Retirement Board, 221 N LaSalle Street, Suite 1626, Chicago, Illinois 60601 or
print it from the Fund website: www.chipabf.org, beginning Wednesday, December 31, 2025
through Friday, January 9, 2026.

No hoopla this time because the Pension board, AKA FOP, was hoping no one would notice and they could push “their” candidate in unnoticed and uncontested/business as usual.

FOP will have nothing to do with this it’s a retirement position that’s open. Last time it was for active officers which FOP was involved which they should be.
