PBA NOMINATIONS
In accordance with the bylaws of the New York City Patrolmen’s
Benevolent Association, nominations for elective office were accepted
at the monthly delegates’ meeting held today (Tuesday, May
8), with no candidates placed in opposition to the six top citywide
positions led by two-term President Patrick J. Lynch.
Lynch
said: “New York City’s 24,000 active police officers
have given us a mandate to continue the fight against an unjust
administration that stands in clear violation of the Taylor Law
for failing to pay New York’s police officers a competitive
market rate of pay. We will use all the PBA’s power
to achieve fair treatment and fair compensation for our members,
who risk their lives every day to make New York the safest big
city in America.”
