Today on The Blue View, we’re joined by leaders from the Alliance for Prosperity and Secure Retirement (APSR)—a national coalition dedicated to protecting retirement security and keeping politics out of public pension investments.

Our guests include Tim Hill, APSR President, retired Phoenix firefighter, and longtime advocate for pension integrity, and O’Brien Atkinson, Anne Arundel County Police Corporal, President of his local Fraternal Order of Police, and APSR Board Member.

Together, we discuss:
• Why public employee pensions are increasingly under political pressure
• The importance of fiduciary duty and pension board independence
• How political agendas threaten long-term retirement stability
• Why police, firefighters, and public employees must have a voice in pension governance
• How coalitions strengthen pension protection efforts nationwide

Hosted by Patrick Yoes, National President of the Fraternal Order of Police, this conversation is essential viewing for anyone counting on a secure and dignified retirement after public service.
