Without a phase-in, your county's budget will be CRUSHED!
TOP THREE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
All Kentucky counties will be forced to pay 45% more (on average) for their pension contribution starting July 1st.
Some counties are facing complete financial collapse if the increase is not phased in over time.
A CERS Phase-In (SB66) has only a few legislative days left to pass. Its fate, along with the counties of Kentucky, is very uncertain.
WE ARE IN CRISIS MODE!
Legislators must hear from both YOU AND YOUR EMPLOYEES TODAY!
Tell them to PASS SENATE BILL 66.
Counties need a PHASE-IN to survive financially.
A phase-in must pass regardless of the pension reform bill.
ACTION PLAN
Call your legislator TODAY asking him/her to support SB66.
Share this email with county employees.
Ask your employees and co-workers to call their legislator.
Join us on the steps of the House and Senate chambers this Thursday, March 22nd, at 1:30 p.m. to show your support for SB66. Meet in room 125 in the annex when you arrive (anytime between 9am-1:15pm).
Counties MUST have a phase-in of the increased pension payment.
Tell your legislators the effects that no phase-in will have on your county, your employees and your ability to pay bills and provide services.
Senate Bill 1 (pension reform) DOES NOT affect this legislation.
Counties have been partners in good-faith with the General Assembly addressing the pension crisis. We now need that same support to avoid the financial crisis that will cripple counties if a phase-in is not passed.
