LET'S GIVE THE PENSION REFORMS A CHANCE TO WORK

The RI Retirement Security Act was enacted last fall after thoughtful analysis and designed by the General Treasurer to enact a fair and lasting reform. Now only a few short months after, the public unions wish to undermine this effort by restoring benefits without giving this law a chance to work. The impact will be disastrous on this state and will drive more municipalities towards bankruptcy. Are the lessons learned from Central Falls to be ignored? How many more retirees need to be hurt?

RISC has taken an opposing position on House bills H-7711 by Rep. Carnevale (Providence) , H-7731 by Rep. O’Neill (Pawtucket), H-7418 by Rep. Guthrie (Coventry), and Senate bill S-2552 by Sen. Pichardo (Providence).
