UnitedHealth Group (our own United Healthcare and Medica) is the nation’s largest private health insurer. The $400 billion umbrella company is, in fact, bigger than Microsoft. Critics point to UnitedHealth’s $22 billion profit last year, claiming the company’s focus is on benefiting itself while adding costs for consumers. Read an in-depth April 30th Washington Post article here and a 2023 ProPublica report here.
Rest assured the HR218 is a go for June 4th at the Indoor Range. However, the SPPD Staff has yet to release the software for us to post time slot scheduling links. Return to the website often to check for an update and we'll also notify everyone via a group email when scheduling is up and running.
The SPPRA and the St. Paul Veteran Fire Fighters Assn. recently lobbied the Legislature in support of the PERA Police & Fire Plan Retiree cost of living adjustment (COLA) increase (HF4666 and SF4878). Joint letters were composed and sent in March to the Governor and half a dozen key legislators. You can read the letter to Gov. Tim Walz here.
This year two events fall on Thursday, May 9th: the monthly Mancini's Dinner and the SPPD Recognition Awards Dinner. The Executive Board would like to promote the Retirement Dinner and offer to help defray the cost of attending in lieu of the Mancini's Dinner.
Therefore, the May Mancini's Dinner is canceled and we encourage all to attend the 2024 62nd Annual St. Paul Police Retirement Dinner. Click on the scrolling banner below for more information and tickets. The Assn shall reimburse each member the cost difference between the events (Awards $50 - Mancini's $35 = $15). Members will be allowed one guest for a possible maximum reimbursement of $30 for $100 spent.
To redeem this offer, participating members should present a receipt from the Awards Dinner at a regular SPPRA membership meeting in person. Mailed and/or emailed receipts will not be accepted. Note: This offer is for SPPRA members only.
Last fall at the Saint Paul Police Foundation Blue Nite Gala, Chief Axel Henry announced that the Police Indoor Range would be renamed and dedicated to retired Officer Randy Barnett. Randy was the Saint Paul Police Department’s Range Master from 1995 to 2011. Randy is an innovator and pioneer of police firearms training; responsible for training hundreds of range instructors and thousands of students.
The SPPD is honored to recognize Randy’s exemplary service and commitment to the department and its firearms training. All are invited to an open house on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, from 1200 – 1400 hours in the lot outside the range entrance at the Rowan Training Facility. There will be a brief program at 1230 hours. You can view Randy's dedication video from last year's Blue Nite Gala here.
