A Message from our MEA Lobbyist Re: Retirement Proposal from Governor Granholm

"IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT ALL OF THESE RETIREMENT PROPOSALS WILL REQUIRE LEGISLATION AND THAT THE BILLS HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN INTRODUCED AS OF NOW. BOTH THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WILL BE REQUIRED TO PASS IDENTICAL VERSIONS OF THE BILLS AND SEND THEM TO THE GOVERNOR TO BE SIGNED BEFORE THEY CAN BECOME LAW. TELL EVERYONE NOT TO PANIC AND MAKE ANY HASTY DECISIONS UNTIL THE ACTUAL DETAILS ARE KNOWN." (Dave Stafford - MEA Lobbyist)

I will send more information as it becomes available.
