Mr. Jeffery Smith fails to keep up with the goings on of the Trustees AND the Court in this matter!
# 1. The only money that John Parker has received is the same as Mr. Smith MINUS the $1600.00 the Opt-Outs received.
# 2. Mr. Smith will have to pay a good portion of his $1600.00 back, if the Pension Trustees Appeal is upheld (hope he hasn't spent it).
#3. Attorney Thomas could have stopped and collected his money and we ALL ( including Mr. Smith) would be paying for the Attorney’s fees.
# 4. Mr. Smith is correct in his statement that either way it has cost our Pension Plan a lot of money BUT he fails to realize that the Insurance Co. should be paying those costs not us or our Pension Plan.
# 5. Mr. Smith also fails to realize that had Mr. Parker not filed suit, WE ( including Mr. Smith ) would not have received one red cent but some of us received $5700.00 and some (Opt-Outs) received $7300.00.
# 6. It is apparent that Mr. Smith did not read the 2nd District Court of Appeals ruling where the Court ruled that all Beneficiaries must pay the Attorney fees ( that makes us all equal ) Opt-Outs and Opt-In's.
I would suggest to Mr. Smith that he attends the Pension meetings, study the Court rulings and also study the history of the Parker Law Suit. Any prudent and intelligent person would come to the correct conclusion that the Trustees made a mistake in the past and want ALL of us to pay for what was our earned benefit. The insurance company should be paying for the mistake not the retirees!
