Passed 22 to 16 in the Senate on April 14, 2010, to require state employees to pay an additional 3 percent of their salary into their pension fund. This will save some $35 million in the next fiscal year and $304.5 million over 10 years. The measure applied to state employees hired before 1997 who have defined benefit pensions; those hired since have 401K-type defined contribution pensions.

 We as an average citizen keep loosing our retirement and the state government start complaining if there is any change in theirs.  A 6. something is great as we with social security get a 1 percent raise and then it is taken away by Medicare/medicaid.........Go figure.  Great place to work if for the government in an office!!

These state and federal employees are lucky to get a pension! I am a doctor of 20 years, and have to keep practicing for 5 years or 60 to get SS and medicare and hope its still there.
