Florida Retirement Bill

Comment Up
Jeff Clemens votes NO --another Party line vote.

The bill, which backers say would put the state's retirement package more in line with public companies, was amended to make state employees pay 3 percent of their salaries toward their retirement funds. (That 3% will really break them).

Newly hired employees would be required to enter 401 (k)-type retirement plans instead of the traditional Florida Retirement System pension plan that guarantees specific payouts despite market fluctuations. Matching a Senate move, the House backed off an original 5 percent employee contribution level requested by Gov. Rick Scott.

    Way to go Jeffy--trying to ruin Florida like you did in Lake worth. What a claim to fame. No business sense, only political sense.

    Leave him alone. He's trying to be a politician. Let's smoke dope and be a dope and make sure that you drive on the right side of the road.

    So I understand he voted AGAINST 401K's and FOR pensions to remain?! If my understanding is correct, frickin'A, go Jeff.
