	"description": "The Tier 6 pension system for public employees is unfair, hurts recruitment and retention in public service, and weakens the promise of a dignified retirement for workers who serve our communities. Workers hired after 2012 pay more into the pension system, work longer, and receive smaller retirement benefits than earlier tiers. Tier 6 members contribute 3-6% of their salaries for their entire careers, while earlier tiers stop contributing after a set number of years. They also cannot retire without penalties until age 63, compared to age 55 with 30 years of service under Tier 4. It’s time to fix this! Email your Sstate legislators today and tell them: “We need to include Fix Tier 6 reforms in the Fiscal Year 2027 Budget! Every public employee - no matter when they were hired - deserves a secure retirement.&quot;",
