Paying in on your retirement depends on what Tier you’re in and what retirement plan you have. I’m in Tier 2 and didn’t have to pay in. The recruiting issue is who wants to be a police officer this day and age with all the negativity towards them. Also the recruiting issue for PBA of NYS is who wants to work 25 years when you can go to another department and work 20. When we retire we still have to pay for our health care benefits, we don’t get them for free (I’m guessing that the same for all state employees). In our retirement system we get 50% at 25 years of service. We get 1.66% per year after that up to 32 years to max out at 62%. The troopers get 50% at 20 years then 1.66% per year up to 32 years and max out at 70%

If you google the PBA of New York State there are all kinds of articles on the 20 year retirement for the PBA’s members. In the past the retirement proposal has passed both the House and the Senate unanimously then goes to her desk and she vetos it saying it needs to be negotiated in the budget (which violates the Taylor Law). This year it ends up in the House and Senate’s budget proposal but not hers and unfortunately doesn’t make the final budget cut. Not to make political but in my eyes she is not a supporter of Law enforcement. She denies 20 retirement for a union with about 1200 members but finds all kinds of money for a new Bills stadium, housing for illegals, swimming pools across the state….ect….ect….

They Game Wardens are also in the same PBA as the Park Police,SUNY Cops, and Forest Ranges so none of us are getting it. But she can give 22 million for free AC units. https://cbs6albany.com/news/local/nys-program-providing-free-air-conditioning-units-for-certain-households-this-summer-home-energy-assistance-program-heap-new-york-medical-condition-heat-wave-seasons-hot-weather

The st Lawrence river has a closed season and Lake Ontario in Jefferson county is closed. You find that information in the region 6 special regulations then have to go to the St Lawrence River section to find that it is closed until 6/15. People come from all over the county to fish up and and I can’t believe they can’t read the regulations before they plan a trip.

I’ve seen hatchery workers try to pick big males out of the tank and because they couldn’t lift them out to milk them they drop them back into the holding tank and pick out smaller males.

I have the Mercury 150. I’m also running with a lot of weight…..4 batteries, Terriova and a 9.9 mercury

This is the prop I went with for my fishmaster 196. I’m getting 45mphish at 52-5400rpms. I called Vic’s Sports center since they set up at lot of them and this is what they told me. I think I would get closer to 6000rpms but I think my engine is mounted to low.
