Well , I thought I was done with this until last year when I found out the ACERA people had lied to the IRS as well as to me. I tried without success to get some response then. I tried to let it go but I keep waking up at 2-3am ruminating on it.
I have copies of the legal documents but I've learned that the best way - often - to deal with a situation like this is to avoid a legal debate and go with a common sense approach. In this case, ACERA attornies succeeded in getting a judge to rule that it was acceptable for their employees to lie to a disabled retiree and said retiree was not entitled to compensation. Say this to a lawyer and you'll get bs legal mumbo-jumbo; say it to any normal human being and they will say - that sucks and it shouldn't be that way.
I appreciate the feedback. It really helps me to clarify my thinking and what my future action aught to be.
I realize that getting Ellen involved would be like winning the lottery but I keep thinking in terms of holding ACERA up to the public ridicule it deserves. There are lots of media people and any one of them who has an audience could help.
Posting here and getting feedback helps. Thank you.
