Issue Position: Public Employee Retirement System (P.E.R.S.)

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2019
Issues: Economy and Fiscal Government Budget and Spending Federal, State and Local Relations

P.E.R.S. should be managed by the ten member committee responsible for the fund's management, growth, and disbursements. Some lawmakers have attempted to manipulate the fund and limit its capacity to meet the needs of our retired civil servants.

State employees pay, and have paid for many years, into the program and have earned the ability to access the full benefits of the program. As long as the fund is solvent and stable, Senator McMahan does not support any adjustments to the fund.
