  1. Maybe the legislature would’ve had more time to support the large number of retirees if they hadn’t been spending all their time on social legislation that affects a comparatively minuscule number of Hoosiers.

  2. Why so little coverage of the massive Executive Branch pay increases approved in this budget bill with no public hearings at all. Pegging Executive pay scales to the pay rate of Indiana’s Chief Justice’s . I could have been worse they could have pegged Executive pay scales to State College football and Basketball Head Coach compensation packages.

  3. Mediocre compensation – whether in the private sector or the public sector – will always result in talented employees looking elsewhere for better opportunities. What is left is a mediocre work force.

    Who wouldn’t want to work in state government after reading this?

  4. This is ridiculous! Can they be forced to go back into session to correct this egregious oversight? Sending this to study committee without approving ANYTHING for retired public employees is a slap in the face of those who gave their careers to public service. This includes our retired police officers and firefighters.

  5. Hold onto your hat – I’m a liberal and have a different take on this: I may be wrong, but it sounds like this is a defined benefit pension plan that does *not* have an inflation indexing provision. Some do, some don’t. The fact that the legislature has previously overridden that clause does not change the fact the retirees are now getting what they were promised. Would have been nice if they kept up past practice, especially since we have a large surplus, but they are not failing to pay what was promised.
