Side Note
A Member’s Perspective
By Rich BerkeryYou may ask, “What is that $3.00 deducted from your monthly paycheck?” I know I asked that same question several years ago. The $3.00 is used for membership to the State Coalition of Probation Officers (SCOPO), which includes Probation Counselors.
LEGISLATOR OF THE YEAR
Traditionally, SCOPO has awarded "Legislator of the Year" to one State Senator and one State Assembly Member. Since the voting for these awards will occur at the next SCOPO meeting in Los Angeles County on December 9th, please submit your candidate(s) for consideration to me no later than December 5th, 2011. The recipients will be honored at SCOPO's "Legislative Day" in Sacramento in March 2012.
