Last year, public employees and retirees saw nearly $42 million in PEIA benefit cuts for the 2015-16 plan year. While those cuts caused hardships on West Virginia's hard working families, the future is much worse.  Without immediate action by Senate President Bill Cole, House Speaker Tim Armstead, and members of the legislature, PEIA will be forced to make draconian cuts eliminating $120 million in active and retiree benefits.

     The West Virginia Legislature must stop the assault on West Virginia's working families.  Competitive salaries offered during election years have become routine empty promises.  Active and retired public employees deserve better.  The West Virginia Legislature has the power to fix and fund PEIA.  You can add your personal comments to the petition below.
