PROP I&J
Endorsements
Proposition "I" has a wide spectrum of support and
endorsement. From Congressman Phil Burton to Assembly
Speaker Willier Brown. From Police Commissioner
Al Nelder to Supervisor Wendy Nelder. From
Assemblyman Art Agnos to Senator John Foran.
From Supervisors Lee I)olson, Willie Kennedy, Carol
Ruth Silver, John Molinari and Harry Britt to Police
Commissioners Jane Murphy, J0 Daly and Burl Toler.
With a campaign budget of nearly $180,000 (used
also for Proposition "J"—Time and One-Half for Overtime),
the POA has launched the most costly and intensive
campaign in this organization's forty (40)
years history. A full time coordinating staff has been
hired; campaign consultants had been retained; the
media will be flooded with messages that Proposition
"I" stands for pension justice.
At its meeting of September 2, 1982 the POA's Board
of Directors withdrew its opposition to Proposition
"A" (creation of the Office of Civilian Complaints).
This stand was taken in order to be able to effectively
put together abroad based coalition of community organizations,
clubs, and newspapers supporting Proposition
"I". Continued POA's support for Proposition
"A" led to the inability to attract support from minor-

ity and gay organizations. Since these organizations
usually support labor propositions, their assistance
was considered and judged, by both the Legislative
Committee and the Board of Directors, to be necessary
for the passage of Proposition "I". When balanced
against the anticipated negative reaction of some
POA members to this coalition, the Board strongly felt
that Proposition "I" was the most important single issue
presently collectively facing the Police Association
and therefore a vigorous and unifying campaign
was necessary and appropriate to insure passage on
November 2nd. The Board's neutral stance on Proposition
"A" has led to and resulted in considerable support
for Proposition "I" from minority and gay political
leaders, organizations, and publications.
Special Tribute
No recount of the history of Proposition "I" will fail
to observe the single handed drive and determination
of board member Dan Linehan from Southern Station.
His effort and energy on the issue of Tier III is most responsible
for this Proposition's existence. No one has
worked harder than Dan to achieve this pension
justice and equity for over 900 POA members. His herculean
efforts will long be remembered.
