Committee Scrambles to Settle WV Teachers Retirement Fund
West Virginia lawmakers questioned conflicting figures on the State Teachers Retirement Fund. Gov. Moore and Chairmen argued over ending cash balance and total investments, while Acting Secretary Peters cited a typographical error and noted a need for a new actuarial study before requesting more money. The dispute centers on whether the fund will end the year with a surplus or a larger cash balance, with projections ranging from about 932000 to 5 million in increased benefits pending, and a history of rising retirements since 1941-42.
