Issue Position: Pension Reform

Issue Position

When I came to Columbia six years ago, virtually no one was talking about the condition of the State Retirement System. As a result of my persistent involvement in this discussion it is now on the front burner for policy makers in Columbia. We have shored up the plan since then and have shortened the amortization period needed to fully fund the plan but there is still work to be done. I have introduced legislation to reform the plan at its core and would like to follow through with that reform over the next legislative session.
