It’s been a very busy two weeks for our executive board and our membership. Starting at the New York State Professional Firefighters Association - NYSPFFA Legislative Conference in Albany, we then headed back up to the capital a few days later for the massive “FIX TIER 6!” rally, advocating for NY State Tier 6 members’ pension reform. Directly from Albany, executive board members flew to Washington DC for the International Association of Fire Fighters Legislative Conference, lobbying our politicians for the rights and benefits of our brothers and sisters across the country, where we were able to grab a quick word and photo op with General President Edward A. Kelly. Then finally last night, President Mike Ingham attended a small private event with Governor Kathy Hochul, hosted by NY State Senator Nick Spano, where he was able to speak privately with the Governor regarding issues pertinent to our members and firefighters across the state.
