New Mexico educational pension plan seeks solvency until 2045
The proposal would raise worker payroll contributions by 0.75 percent over three years starting 2014 and cost taxpayers about 60 million annually from the state and local governments over three years beginning 2016. It aims to extend retiree health care solvency to 2045, with changes to future hires including a 55 retirement age and higher retiree co pays. Opposition is likely in the Legislature, where some backers say the plan does not go far enough.
