[OccupyCU] Fwd: HJRCA 49 FAILS!

[Germaine Light]

> Please it pass on that:
> The News Gazette implied with a big victory check on today's front page that Constitutional Amendment 49 passed.  
> 1) this is an error that editor John Beck said will be retracted tomorrow on page A2.
> 2) the News Gazette had endorsed this CA 49 prior to election.  I informed him that a huge chunk of his readership is made up by public service workers, reminding him that many university employees, as well as public school employees are in this category.  
> I told him that this was a bad choice to endorse this amendment & added to the error on the front page, this is a double slap in the face to all public service workers!

>> Christine, please forward on to region 9 leaders & local officers:  
>> 
>> IEA leaders,
>> Please pass on to local members that proposed Constitutiomal amendment 49 did NOT pass!  A 60% majority of those who voted on the measure or 50% majority of those who cast a ballot was required for passage, but it fell short of both!  Yay!  A great victory in stopping it!  We have staved off the wolves one more time!
>> Now we will have to watch what the legislators will try to do in the November veto session!
>> Please send thank you messages to Senator Frerichs, as he was one of only 2 senators that voted NO to placing the CA 49 proposal on this ballot!

>>> Great work, everybody! The constitutional amendment looking to make pension benefit expansions more difficult has failed to meet the threshold for passage.
