Subject: | Amending the County Pension Law, further providing for supplemental benefits |
In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation to alleviate county governments of mandates. Under current law, any Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) has to be retroactive which, depending on past increases, could lead to significant tax increases. Unfortunately, this places county commissioners and officials in a difficult position as either they raise taxes or leave retirees years in between COLAs. My bill allows the County Retirement Board to offer retirees a COLA attached to the Cost of Living Index which would allow retirees to receive a needed COLA without adversely affecting the taxpayers. Please join me in co-sponsoring this legislation by clicking on the link below. If you have any questions, please contact Susan Klock by phone at (717) 783-2655 or by email at sklock@pahousegop.com. |
