Chicago Threatens to Withhold Retirement Benefits From Cops Who Retire Rather than Submit to Mayor Lightfoot’s COVID Vaccine Mandate
Chicago has upped its battle with police officers over the mandated COVID vaccine, issuing a statement Sunday night threatening the retirement benefits of officers who opt to retire from the force rather than submit to Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s COVID vaccine mandate and reporting system.
A copy of the notice was reported by WMAQ-TV reporter Mary Ann Ahern who posted a copy to Twitter:
