Missouri Governor vetoes legislators pension bill
Governor Hearnes vetoed two bills in Jefferson City including a plan to raise legislator and state employee retirement by 25 percent without higher employee contributions. He warned the change would be actuarially unsound and jeopardize federal highway aid from a separate drivers license bill. The pension measure would lift benefits while keeping contributions at 4 percent, risking a 6 percent to 6.5 percent needed increase. He favored a separate retirement plan for lawmakers to address rising costs and keep benefits aligned with other employers.

Governor cites pension gaps in Missouri retirement plan
Hearnes compared state pension terms with other states, arguing the current Missouri system yields poorer returns. He cited a retiree after 20 years on $10,000 salary paying $400 annually for a $2,000 pension, while Arkansas and Iowa offer larger benefits for similar contributions. Probate judges and university workers show marked disparities in retirement payouts versus contributions.
