New Mexico Supreme Court weighs educator pension cuts
The state high court heard arguments in a case by four retired educators challenging cost-of-living reductions in the educational retirement plan. A ruling could set precedent for all New Mexico public pensions, potentially affecting about 70,000 retirees and tied to 6 billion in unfunded future benefits. The law amends COLAs, raises contributions above 20,000 annually, and sets a 55-year minimum retirement age.
