The MCCFFA Political Action Committee (PAC) was formally established
in the 80's to help further State and Local legislation that
benefits and protects Fire Fighters and Paramedics. Today
there are more and more attempts to privatize, downsize, and
in general - cut corners. With the dangerous job that we do,
we simply can’t stand still and let politicians balance
their budgets at the expense of our membership’s lives!
The Career Fire Fighters in Montgomery County have always
shown a strong presence prior to and on Election Day. But
that is only part of the political picture. Campaigns require
a lot of money and in recent years we have been there for
a number of candidates when they have needed us. But funding
has to come from individual, voluntary contributions. By giving
to the PAC, you are combining your dollars with those of your
brothers and sisters to have a greater impact in helping our
friends get elected. Remember: The PAC endorses and supports
candidates that support us!
Recently, politicians that have supported us have helped
us obtain 25 year retirement with 60% pension, the DROP, pay
raises for all members, and an extra longevity step for members
with 20 years of service. It is important that we continue
to support candidates that will support us!
You can now sign up online to contribute to
Local 1664's PAC fund. Contributions are voluntary and will
be deducted automatically from your paycheck. Submit the information
below, and PAC Fund Treasurer Jim
Beecken will contact you to verify your request and information.
 The
PAC Fund now has two levels that the President acknowledges
with an annual President’s Club award. The first level
is $4 or more per pay period and the second level is $10 per
pay period. The Presidents award will change from year to
year. The garments pictured here are generally what you might
expect.
The PAC Fund is an important aspect of Local
1664 and your contribution goes a long way! Encourage your
Brother and Sister members to sign up online.
