I don't think the Treasury Dept. will see a NO vote victory. Too many are getting cut 30 percent or less and probably voting yes because that's better than a 50 percent cut. Also I'm guessing those that don't send a vote in at all...will be counted as a YES vote. I think the only NO votes will be from retiree's taking a 60 or 50 percent cut. A lot of these older poor souls will have to go back to work...and doing what? Who's going to hire someone walking in for the interview using a cane? Or not being able to pass a physical? Or falling asleep in the physical? haAnd the treasury dept will have the right to reverse a no vote to a yes.
I'm voting NO because I think Central States can come up with a better deal than the one proposed. They are all over the place with this. A cut should be the same for all. Why can't we all pay 30 percent? I read where there's a possibility for those who wait until after July 1. 2016, that they will only be cut 30 percent. What about the person who retired 1 year ago? They are getting cut 50 percent. What's fair about that? Or some like me who retired several years ago and getting cut 50 percent. Would I still be working today If I had known that if I had waited until July 1, 2016 that my retirement would have paid more? Darn right. Or if I had known that several years after I retired, I would have been better off to have kept working to see if I could get even more, than the July 1, 2016 proposal, on down the road? Why not just keep working forever...until my final trip is to just fall out of the truck and die?
I think if the Treasury Dept. receive's a majority of YES votes they will think we are all satisfied with the proposal and let it pass. CSPF has it set up to pass with a bunch of yes votes by having different cuts and votes not being sent in counted as yes. There is nothing fair about this at all. A NO vote from me. At least I will let them know I don't like it. I still feel they can come back to the table with something better and fair for all. Once it's done...it's done. Let's just hope and pray the right decision is made for all.
