Washington State needs to take legal action against any bank complicit in any activity related to the manipulation of LIBOR that then took federal bailout funds paid for by state taxpayers.
Why is this important?
My mother is a widow of a 30 year veteran of the King County Police force who died of MSA several years ago. She receives his pension and it and the health care he received as part of his compensation are the only reason that our family didn't go bankrupt during his final years. Funding cuts to law enforcement in our state are threatening to force Democratic candidates to cut pension programs in order to shore up budget shortfalls and would cut off my mother's pension right as she is going to retire.
