The Reorg Fishers PAC and the Town of Fishers claim a $1,000,000 savings if Question 1 passes by merging Fall Creek Township and Fishers. They claim if this happens, the town will cease to exist with this new form of government and they will be able to exit form Section 218 of Social Security. They claim other townships saw savings by withdrawing from Social Security and gave a list. Only the federal government would allow municipalities to exit form social Security.
So we checked their claim and sought a freedom of information request from the Social Security Agency. What you read will surprise you.
No government agency in Indiana was allowed to exit from social security in the past 10 years.
Fishers has not officially contacted the Social Security requesting to exit to even experience this savings. No townships in Marion County was able to get out of Social Security.
Here is a link to an Official Opinion of the Indiana Attorney General (Steve Carter) in 2006 who indicates that Indy could not get out of SS even in light of the merger of IPD and the Marion County Sheriff. This is what is noted in the SS letter.

Attached is the reply from the Social Security Agency. The letter speaks for itself.
The $1,000,000 savings is a hoax. Please vote No on Question 1.
