Congratulations! 105 Akima Florence officers voted to join a criminal-run union — now all 329 officers are stuck.
When it all falls apart, you can blame Nuno, who believed convicted criminal Steve was some kind of pitbull. Unfortunately for the officers, the truth will be known soon.

Facts are facts — see for yourself. Review the attached information. Here are some highlights:

Also shown in the photo is Les Kaciban — the former president of Paragon Security, who was recently indicted by a grand jury on charges of defrauding the U.S. government of more than $12 million. According to the charges, he created shell companies to bid on government security contracts and received kickbacks through fraudulent consulting arrangements.
Despite these allegations, Maritas partnered with Kaciban while attempting to fool officers into joining UFLEOS-PBA.
Rumor has it that Kaciban has fled the country and is currently considered a fugitive from justice. Maritas and Kaciban — two criminals looking to take your hard-earned money.
Maritas’ union prior to UFLEOS-PBA, known as LEOSU, is currently in bankruptcy proceedings — and Maritas himself has also filed for bankruptcy.
Maritas’ financial instability doesn’t stop with the filing of bankruptcy million-dollar legal judgement has been brought against him- See below:

Where is Maritas going to get the money to pay his mounting legal debts and judgement? Members’ dues?
