Read more about the threat at MEA.org. What the DeVoses and Leonard seem to forget is that the Legislature made significant changes to the pension system in 2012 -- changes that are working to bring stability to retirement system for all school employees. Please take a few minutes to write your legislator and urge them to allow the changes they've already made the time they need to work.  Ask them to not follow the DeVos/Leonard push for more changes that will threaten everyone's retirement security. To learn more, check out MEA's fact sheet and history of pension changes. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/pensions-not-broken-dont-fix-it
