It's OFFICIAL Omaha Steve to retire December 5, 2014. [View all]

We have been working under an expired contract since December of 2012. IF the new contract gets ironed out (we are going to the state commission for 2013) and will be signed before December fifth I might go earlier. The reason is a new contract is expected to reduce the pay out formula for retirees.
