PBA President will not run
Says she wants to spend more time on police work, less with politicians.
Members of the union representing 375 rank-and-file Fort Wayne police officers have narrowly rejected a contract offering a 2% raise.
According to Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association President Sofia Rosales-Scatena, who could not give the exact vote, changes in insurance, compensation time and other areas were among members’ concerns, meaning negotiations will now resume between the PBA and the administration of Mayor Tom Henry. PBA members have been working without a contract since the previous pact expired.
