Further pension improvements doubtful
THE STATE Legislature last year approved significant improvements to the pension systems to which most Council 2 members belong.
But unfortunately some employee groups sued the state over the new provisions. The state legislature is waiting until the litigation is over before it takes further action on most additional pension issues.
“It doesn’t mean nothing will get done, or that the improvements won’t be implemented, but it limits our expectations for new improvements,” says Council 2 Deputy Director Pat Thompson.
