BJP Chief Spokesperson Rakesh Jamwal said that the people of the state are suffering due to the mutual tussle between the Congress and the discussions and examples of the tussle between the Congress are well known.
Congress Chief Minister, Congress State President, Congress MLA, Congress Ministers, Congress sentries, all are suffering from mutual tussle. Due to which he himself is troubled and the public is also troubled.
He said that the present Congress government has created CPS but some posts of ministers are still vacant. Congress leaders discussed their announcements several times, but nothing has happened yet. But it is noteworthy that those who have become ministers are in name only, the reach of these ministers is very big but they do not have reach even in their own districts.
At many places, such a scene was seen that people who are not public representatives are also being inaugurated in public programs and their names are also on the inauguration magazines. Is this a sign that there is a tussle going on among Congress leaders in one assembly constituency also?
He said that the Congress leadership is very kind to its friends, but it also has a burden. Friends have been given big positions, many even have cabinet rank without winning, but many Congress leaders are worried about the burden they have on the government.

Parishes report increasing requests for help, but less money with which to lend a hand
Churches are being asked to do more with less.
The latter was tough to deal with, parishes said, since they are being called upon to do more to help parishioners in need:
62 percent had received emergency requests from community members facing homelessness
85 percent reported increased requests for financial assistance for such things as utilities and medical bills
And a whopping 92.3 percent said they had felt the economic downturn’s impact through increased unemployment among their parishioners.

NYAGATARE - President Paul Kagame, yesterday told residents of Nyagatare District, Eastern Province, that a lot has been achieved over the last 10 years.
Addressing hundreds of thousands who had gathered at Umutara Polytechnic University playground, Kagame said that the district has made commendable progress in all areas.
From infrastructure to social welfare, President Kagame said that Nyagatare has managed to transform itself from one of the most disadvantaged and impoverished districts, to one of the wealthiest in the country.
The Head of State noted that concerted efforts by the government and the people have paid off, making Nyagatare a centre of attraction, today.
He pointed out that the district was, at one point, faced with multiple challenges, including an influx of people returning from exile, and long dry spells, which affected agricultural production, but today, all these challenges have been addressed.
The President said that what the district has achieved confirms the fact that when people put their efforts together, everything is possible.
He pointed out that a lot more can be done in the next 5 or 10 years.
President Kagame added that the progress in Nyagatare district is clearly visible and should provide the basis to do more, since the foundation is already in place.
He cited the transformation from traditional to modern farming as an example of how Nyagatare has improved agricultural production within a short time.
The Head of State further said that the government’s efforts to increase agricultural production are aimed at benefiting all Rwandans, noting that so far the country has been able to achieve food security. He added that the next step is to produce surplus for export.
The President pledged continued government support to modernize agriculture in the district. To that end, he said the government will continue to provide electricity, infrastructure and water conservation projects to support irrigation.
He went on to urge the residents to form cooperatives, saying that when people join efforts a lot can be achieved.
Later in the evening, President Kagame officially opened a retreat for the Eastern Province business community.
The President noted that the business community has demonstrated patriotism by supporting government programmes and investing in their own country.
He commended them for supporting the One-cow-per-family programme and the anti-Nyakatsi (thatched houses) drive.
He said that while the country attracts foreign investors, Rwandans who choose to invest domestically are considered as priority because they are the pillars of the economy.

The situation which has come because of COVID is again raising many concerns as the Director-General of the World Health Organisation has stated that the countries who have seen high rates when it comes to vaccination and the countries who are seeing a dip in the number of cases can again see themselves in a situation which they faced in the month of March in the year 2020.
WHO Warns of Deadlier Variants
Dr. Tedos has been the person who took the initiative to advocate the high-income countries to share the vaccine with the other countries who are suffering from the unavailability of vaccines as he has stated that if the countries are going to be focusing on their own citizens then their Coronavirus will never be eliminated and by this approach, there’s a complete chance that Corona breakouts are going to occur frequently and to avoid that countries need to understand that they need to unite with each other to stop the pandemic.
He has also stated on Wednesday that there are going to be more deadly variants than the delta which is already causing such devastation as he further stated that if there are going to be more variants then the chances are going to increase of the world to go back to square one and more lives are going to be lost in the course.
He further stated that the countries such as Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and many of the countries throughout Europe have managed to vaccinate more than 50% of the population and many of the countries are even close to vaccinating about 70% of the population but he further stated that many of the countries which are in Africa and in the Middle East have been struggling to vaccinate their people and that too who are at high risks such as elderly people and the health care workers which is a big concern for the world.
His concern is pretty simple yet complicated, he is starting that the pandemic would have been over by now if the vaccines were distributed equally amongst the countries and we all would have been happy but it seems like that the distribution of the vaccine has been chaotic and that is the reason that some of the countries are seeing the shortage when it comes to the availability of vaccine.

UK Businesses Say 'Brexit' Affected Investment Decisions: CBI
(RTTNews) - British firms said 'Brexit' has affected their investment decisions, according to a survey from the Confederation of British Industry.
Over 40 percent of respondents said 'Brexit' influenced their decision and 98 percent of them said that the impact has been negative.
Companies said that general uncertainty over the UK's future relationship with the EU has been the negative factor, while the weakness of sterling against the dollar was the only positive contributor.
Almost 60 percent of firms that responded to the survey said that 'Brexit' had not affected their investment decisions.
"Across the UK, there are numerous examples of businesses and sectors thriving and providing jobs and growth in local communities," Rain Newton-Smith, CBI chief economist, said.

KUALA LUMPUR, April 12 — The Malaysian economy is expected to experience a small deceleration to 4.6 per cent this year before picking up to 5.1 per cent next year said the World Bank today.
Malaysia's GDP grew 5.1 per cent last year but the World Bank noted that the commodity prices are unlikely to increase as fast as last year and private consumption may grow more slowly due to efforts by Bank Negara to reign in household debt.
Factors in Malaysia's favour this year include a solid labour market with low unemployment and an expected acceleration of private investment from Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) projects.
"Growth in 2011 is expected to remain healthy," said World Bank Senior Economist for Malaysia Frederico Gil Sander in a presentation today.
He said that the federal government is likely to meet its target of 4.7 per cent this year and four per cent next year.
Sandar said that the government managed to improve its revenue collection last year, including its non-oil revenue but warned that the government is still to dependent on oil revenue.
He noted that the challenge for the government was to ensure that the growth in it's operational expenditure grew more slowly than its revenue.


More than one in three Britons who consume alcohol have no intention of reducing their intake, new research suggests.
According to the International Bupa Health Pulse survey, British people are 41 per cent more likely to drink alcohol than the international average.
Nine per cent of British respondents to the 13,000-strong poll said they had alcohol every day, which was more than double the international average.
However, 38 per cent of drinkers said they did not wish to change their behaviour.
Dr Layla McCay, Bupa's assistant medical director, said: 'This is a worrying observation which implies that Brits are particularly resistant to change when it comes to drinking habits.
'Social lives too often revolve around drinking and it is important that we work towards coming up with healthier alternatives.'
Drinkaware chief executive Chris Sorek said that people often drink more than planned because they do not know the number of units in their favourite beverage.
But he warned: 'Regularly drinking over the daily guidelines can lead to more serious health harms including alcohol-related liver disease, which has no warning signs.'
Government health experts say that men should not regularly consume more than three to four units of alcohol per day, while women should restrict themselves to two to three daily units.


President Tsai Ing-wen received the annual Global Leadership Award from the Hudson Institute, a Washington, D.C. based think tank. Tsai received the award on Thursday evening in New York as she was transiting through the US on her way to visit allies in Latin America.
Speaking at the ceremony for the award, Tsai said that the award belongs to the people of Taiwan. She said that the people of Taiwan have shown resilience in the face of increasing tensions across the Taiwan Strait.
Though China has elevated tensions with Taiwan, Tsai said the people of Taiwan have remained calm and rational, demonstrating they are responsible and peace-seeking. She said that history has shown that countries must show strength, however, to deter war.
Tsai said that no single country can fight authoritarianism in the 21st century. Taiwan needs the help and support of other like-minded countries. She said building stronger economic and security ties are important ways to support Taiwan.

A MissionSquare Research Institute survey has found that 78 percent of state and local government employees said they have felt the strain of additional workload due to the increase in the number of people leaving their agencies voluntarily since the start of the pandemic.
Greenwald Research surveyed 1,100 local and state government workers between November and December 2021 and respondents said they believe employers could help reduce employee stress by providing salary increases, recruiting more personnel or reducing workload and offering emotional support, MissionSquare said in a March 10 news release.
According to the report, respondents reported feeling stressed, fatigued and anxious about the COVID-19 pandemic while at work and 76 percent of public employees said the health crisis has impacted the nature of their jobs.
“The double whammy of COVID-19 and the Great Resignation clearly is putting additional strain on an already beleaguered public sector workforce,” said Rivka Liss-Levinson, senior research manager at MissionSquare Research Institute and the report’s lead author.
“However, employees feel their employers can take concrete actions to help with recruitment and retention – from bumping up salaries and offering bonuses to recognizing employees for the important public services they are delivering. We hope this research helps state and local leaders understand the full scope of employee sentiment to help craft solutions that will address the looming public workforce crisis,” Liss-Levinson added.
The survey also showed that nearly 60 percent of respondents were most likely to report that they value serving their community during the pandemic and 63 percent agreed that policies implemented by their employers during the health crisis have been fair to all staff.


Recently published study: 83 million people may die from global warming
(MENAFN)According to a recently published study, about 83 million people is going to lose their life from global warming-related deaths in the 21st century without major changes to carbon emissions policies.
The research was published in the journal Nature Communications, and tried to account for what study author Daniel Bressler termed the "mortality cost of carbon."
Bressler declared in a statement accompanying the report's release that “Based on the decisions made by individuals, businesses or governments, this tells you how many lives will be lost, or saved,” adding “It quantifies the mortality impact of those decisions. It brings this question down to a more personal, understandable level.”

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN — After almost a year and a half of COVID-19, Jordanians' acceptance and attitudes towards vaccines still vary.
The National Centre for Security and Crisis Management (NCSCM) published on Sunday the local pandemic updates. The figures showed that 87 per cent of coronavirus deaths in Jordan during July were among unvaccinated individuals.
COVID-19 prevalence rate increased from less than one to 1.35 per day, the centre added. The centre also noted that more than 90 per cent of coronavirus infections are from the highly contagious Delta variant.
Nada Omar, a Jordanian in her early 40s, told The Jordan Times on Sunday that she believes vaccines are safe and should be taken.
Omar added that in order to keep the community healthy amid the ongoing pandemic one must take the vaccine.
“If we do nothing and by that I mean do not get vaccinated, the virus will for sure continue to spread and will not be controlled,” Omar said.
Omar Hani, a medical student, strongly agreed with Nada Omar's opinion, pointing out that vaccine distribution is equal in the Kingdom and every person has access to them.
“Low vaccination rates may lead to the spread of new variants,” said Hani, advising people who did not get vaccinated to read more about the vaccine's importance.
However, many Jordanians still have doubts about vaccine safety.
Biljana R. who is a Jordanian mother of three, said that she is planning on getting the vaccine at the end of 2021.“Maybe then, new studies will be published on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines and I will be convinced,” she said.
Sereen Alami, a young university student, said she does not go outside that much so for the time being she will not take the vaccine.
The Health Ministry has continuously stated that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and dispelled rumours and misinformation surrounding the vaccines.
The current population of Jordan is 10,955,937, according to the Department of Statistics.
According to a joint statement issued by the Prime Ministry and the Ministry of Health on Sunday, the total number of people who received the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine has reached 3,004,698, while 2,260,376 got their second shot.
The number of people who have registered on the vaccination platform has reached 3,593,482.

Around the world, people are increasingly health conscious and aware of the impact of individual lifestyle choices on their health and the health of others. This growing awareness has the potential to transform the way we think about health care – becoming our own health advocates and seeking ways to personally improve and maintain health.
This overarching trend of health ownership worldwide is expected to drive growth in the consumer health industry across a number of fronts. Additionally, self-care can help alleviate increasing resource pressure on health care systems and governments.

Ranchi: Chief Minister Raghubar Das on Sunday will be chairing a meeting with the doctors of RIMS which will be held at the newly built trauma centers.
An order in this regard has been also issued by RIMS director Dinesh Kumar Singh in which all the doctors have been asked to be present for the meeting and along with that, all the doctors have been also instructed to put their attendance in the attendance register.
In the meeting the doctors at the state’s largest government hospital plan to draw the attention of the Chief Minister over a host of issues prominent being ACB probe against the doctors.

Although the United States has slowed the growth in its health care spending, U.S. spending remains far above that of other countries around the world, according to a new Viewpoint article in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Author David Squires, senior researcher at The Commonwealth Fund, analyzed health spending data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The data indicate that the factors that may have contributed to the U.S. health care spending growth slowdown, including the 2007–2009 financial crisis, also affected other countries.
It’s unlikely that the global slowdown in health care cost growth will continue, since health spending and economic growth are historically linked, Squires says. However, it’s possible that the spending slowdown will continue in the United States, and that the slower growth of recent years could have brought about lasting changes to our health care system.
It is also possible that the Affordable Care Act could temper spending increases that would otherwise accompany economic recovery, he says. But if “health spending resume its historic patterns, the U.S. will face formidable health care challenges that will place increasing pressure on stakeholders to institute dramatic changes in the organization and financing of care,” Squires says in the article.


BIRATNAGAR, MAY 01 – Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai has said that he will not resign from his post.
Talking briefly to media persons at the Biratnagar Airport on Tuesday, he said that it is meaningless to spread rumors of his resignation at a time when all are serious on taking the peace and constitution writing to logical conclusion.
He added that the UCPN (Maoist) will lead the national consensus government and clarified that the party will decide who will be the prime minister of that government.
The prime minister further said that this government will take the peace process to a logical end and promulgate the new constitution.
He said the new constitution will be promulgated on the basis of consensus among all political parties and not on majority basis, adding that the disputed issues seen in the constitution writing are being resolved.
Responding a query, PM Bhattarai claimed that the said no-confidence motion against him was only a rumor.
He condemned the incident of bomb explosion that took place in Janakpur on Monday and said that the government will declare the deceased as martyrs and will provide rightful compensation to the victim’s families.
PM said that the Janakpur incident was a criminal incident and suspected that these types of incidents might occur until May 27, the deadline for the promulgation of the new constitution.
He added that he has directed bodies concerned to beef up security in view of the possibility of such incidents. RSS & ekantipur


Residents of Amakyebare, a community in the Atwima Nwabiagya North constituency in the Ashanti Region, have called on the government and the district assembly to help fix the road networks in the area.
According to them, the deplorable nature of the roads and bridges in the community could force the people to boycott the December 07 elections.
Nana Osei Kwame, Gyaasehene of the town told the Ghana News Agency that in-spite of several petitions to the Atwima-Nwabiagya North District Assembly, the road remained unattended to.
He said the only bridge on River Offin, which crossed the community had become a death trap, forcing farmers to abandon their farms, especially during rainy seasons.
Some drivers who also spoke to the GNA said the muddy nature of the roads, during rainfall made it difficult for them to convey passengers and goods to their destinations in the area.
They called on the government to fix the road to ease the burden of the people.

Three people have been confirmed dead, while 16 are currently hospitalised in Amaogwugwu, a community in Ohuhu, Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State following the cholera outbreak which occurred in the community.
The President General of the community, Kelechi Uwaoma, who confirmed this to journalists said two people died in their homes while one died in the community health centre, adding that those hospitalised were receiving treatment.
He added that some persons have recovered and have been discharged from the health centre.
Uwaoma disclosed that the cholera outbreak was a result of suspected contamination of the Ikwu river which was the only source of water in the community.
He said officials of the state ministry of health, Who Health Organization and other interventionist agencies have visited the community and donated drugs to the community health centre to complement the ones already procured to treat victims and expressed delight that the situation was under control.
Uwaoma said, “We have intensified sensitisation of the people on ways of preventing further spread which includes keeping the environment clean, drinking clean water, and safe preservation of food items.
“We also directed that the affected persons be treated at no cost and residents should immediately report suspected cases to the health facility”.
When contacted the state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Joe Osuji, said his ministry is monitoring the situation and had deployed officials and drugs to the community so as to help stabilize affected persons and that he will be visiting the community today with the state epidemiology team.
A native of the village, Uche Aguoru, while speaking to our reporter, said the people drink water from the Ikwu river due to the non-availability of pipe-borne water and stated that in the past individuals and governments, both at the state and federal levels have tried to drill boreholes in the community but have not been successful due to the topography of the area.
He pleaded that the government should help revive the greater Okpara water scheme which in the 70s and 80s provided safe and clean potable water for the Ohuhu people.
Aguoru, therefore, called on the government and well-meaning organisations to come to the rescue of the community by arresting the situation and checkmating further spread of the deadly disease.


New York (Knewz) — Barely one-quarter of people approve of the way President Joe Biden is handling the inflation crisis, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll.
The news is troubling for the president and Democrats heading into the holiday season and then 2022 — where they will face midterm elections.
According to the poll, only 28 percent of people approve of how the president has handled inflation. While nearly 70 percent have disapproved.
Recently, Biden said he believes that inflation has reached its peak, according to Vox.
“I think you’ll see it change sooner, quicker, more rapidly than people think,” Biden said. “Every other aspect of the economy is racing ahead.”
However, several economic forecasters expect inflation to continue into 2022 and possibly even 2023. If that trend holds, it’s likely bad news for the Democrats when it comes to election time.
There was little good news for the Biden administration in the new poll. The president had disapproval on a variety of topics including, the economic recovery, gun violence and taxes. He did score favorably in rebuilding the country’s infrastructure.
Biden also received 53 percent approval for the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and 45 percent disapproval. However, that approval figure fell by three points from a similar survey at the end of October.


This is not only in the UK or in Australia but all over the world. This has been due to lack of laxity among the public service since they are not accountable to any one. Although they are accountable to the public which employs and pays them, employer in the public sector have for a long time not wakened to this realization. As a result there have been many complains from the public on the way the public sector offers service to them. Many people have been opting for the private sector which is considered more efficient and more responsive to the needs of the people. The private sector is also considered to be more efficient in delivery of service and it is also considered to be more professional. Therefore many people have increasing been regarding the services of the private sector over those of public sector. (National Audit Office, 2004)
One of the most inefficient areas of the public service sector has been the area of state enterprise. They have been some of the most nonperforming areas of the government. State owned enterprises have been making losses which mean that it is the tax payer's money that has been funding their operations. As a result, they have been considered as a burden to the state and to the public. Even the most efficient state corporations have been dodged by issues of mismanagement and the use of state resource by the managers of the companies for their own private gains. This has been one of the most contentious issues that have led to the call to have the government take action aimed at making the public sector more efficient in the delivering of services. This has been due to rising government expenditure on some of the corporations which have not been serving the public as required. (Michale 2000, p. 24)
There has been also low level of performance by the public service sector that is supposed to offer basic needs to the public. Some sectors like the health sector have not been able to offer to the public the required services. As a result, there have been increased rise of private practitioners in the private health sector who can offer better service. In this regard there has been a realization that some of those practicing in the private sector are also employed in the public sector and therefore they continuously undermine the capability of the public sector to offer services to the public in order to ensure that they attract the public to their private sector practices. (Dobbs 2006, P. 8)
In the recent past, the government has come up with move that is aimed at making the public sector more professional and responsive to the needs of people. In this regard the government of the UK and Australia have made steps which are aimed at addressing the weaknesses that have been dragging the public sector. This has been through implementation of various strategies that are aimed at addressing the needs of the public. The government have been involved in some of the widely researched areas which are aimed at collecting data that can help the government address the problems that the public sector has been facing.
One of the way in which the government has taken the initiative to deal with the problem in the public sector has been increased privatisation of its service. Since the early 1990s, there has been

OTTAWA — The Conservatives will release their platform on Friday in Toronto, setting the stage for their leader, Stephen Harper, to provide more detail to voters about what the party would do with the majority mandate it seeks.
Harper will be at the campaign event where the platform is released, said the Tories’ national campaign chairman, Guy Giorno.
The move comes just one day before the two-week mark of the campaign, and several days before next week’s crucial televised leaders debates.
“The platform has to come out at some point,” Giorno said in an interview. “This is the point in the campaign we thought was the appropriate time to lay it out for the voters.”
It is expected that the platform will highlight the measures that the Conservatives proposed in their recent budget that was tabled before the government was defeated in the Commons. However, Harper has also been promising new initiatives along the campaign trail — such as income splitting for families with children so they can save on taxes, and doubling the allowable contributions to Tax Free Savings Accounts.
Those promises, and more — such as a plan to end public subsidies for political parties — will also be in the platform.
Three of the other parties — the Liberals, Bloc Quebecois, and Greens — have released their platforms already.

A school in Texas is asking teachers to take a lesson on climate change.
Betsy Devos, the school’s vice president for educational development, told the Texas Education Agency last week that “we are asking teachers, students, and staff to explore and understand the causes and impacts of climate change.”
Devos said the class will examine the impact of climate disruption, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather, flooding, and extreme weather events, on students’ understanding of science.
Devos added that students are being asked to consider “the impact that climate change has on their future.”
Devosss school, which was founded in 2013, was not the first school to use climate change as an education topic.
Last summer, the Washington Post reported that Devos had asked teachers to consider climate change and its effects on students, students’ families and the environment.
Devosss students also learned about the impact that global warming has on the environment in an “informal climate change lesson,” the Post reported.
A teacher in New Jersey was fired after she said the school would be closed if climate change wasn’t addressed.
The teacher, Julie Schmock, told students to think of climate changes in the context of climate catastrophes, such the recent floods in California, she told the newspaper.
The school has since apologized for Schmoke’s remarks, saying that she was speaking “for the sake of all the students and staff,” according to the Washington Times.

Thus, the confederation demanded that it be ensuredand that the measures, put forward by the government to mitigate the impact of the pandemic, will fulfil their objective.
To do so, it argued that they should not have “difficult application processes and complex forms”.


This is one of the most bizarre polls we’ve seen this campaign season.
Here are the cross-tabs for the “who won the debate” question, stratified by party ID:
You can see that Independents gave the win to President Obama by a margin of 55-40.
Now take a look at these cross-tabs showing how respondents answered when asked if the debate will affect their vote:
In other words, some of the Independents who said Obama won the debate also said they are more likely to vote for Romney as a result of the debate.
If that doesn’t make sense to you, join the club.

Marvel Studios has a plan and it’s a long term one.
According to studio head Kevin Feige, the studio has a strategy for its movies planned out through 2021.
Feige tells the Hollywood Reporter that the studio is looking eight years out for its future plans for its movie franchises. But he’s quick to add that beyond the strategy for 2015-16, nothing is set in stone.
Feige went on to say that the studio has to prove that it’s more than just The Avengers franchise.
“We knew that ifAvengers was going to work, the movies had to stand alone,” he said. “Now we have to prove to the studio that we’re more than just these five characters, these five franchises,” Feige says.
That could put a lot of pressure on next year’s The Guardians of the Galaxy.

Boothe reflects on session
Published 11:00 pm Thursday, June 16, 2011
The latest legislative session was seen as the most productive session in recent years, according to lawmakers, and Rep. Alan Boothe (R-Troy) said he and his colleagues had to make tough decisions.
“I think we had a very productive session,” Boothe said. “We dealt with several issues that needed to be dealt with.”
Of those “several issues” which needed to be dealt with, Boothe said the defined retirement plan was among the most important.
“We had to go up on the amount of money employees put into their retirement accounts,” Boothe said. “The percentage had to be increased, because it’s very important that we maintain that retirement system.”
Boothe said there was opposition to the amended percentage increase employees had to contribute to the retirement system.
“Some people are opposed and think the state should step in and pay the extra amount, as opposed to the individual employee having to pay it,” Boothe said. “The state is strapped for money and we’re not in a position to go up on the amount that needed to be contributed to the retirement system.”
The amendment to the defined retirement plan requires state employees to increase their individual contribution to the retirement system from 5 percent to 7.5 percent.
“Because employees will be contributing more money, obviously their paycheck is going to go down some,” Boothe said. “But, it’s going into their retirement account, which they will eventually draw back.”
Boothe said the decision was based on clear indicators, which meant that he and other legislators had a “tough” decision to make.
“The actuary of the retirement system said the retirement system will require more money,” Boothe said. “It’s up to the state to fund that. The state has been funding that ‘x’ amount of dollars every year upwards of close to $1 billion. This year, because of the down economy, the Legislature felt like, and the governor agreed, the employee is going to have to bear a little more of the burden on putting money into their own retirement system.”
Boothe said the state will continue to contribute its share, but the cost of maintaining the retirement system has gone up “millions of dollars” per year and that, by law, the state has to maintain the system.
“A few years ago it was close to 100 percent funded, but now the funding is in the low 70s,” Boothe said. “The retirement system is important, it’s important to the people that work and we have to do what we can to ensure that the retirement system stays sound.”
Boothe said his goal is to be sure that the working people of today will have a better tomorrow, knowing lawmakers are doing what they can to maintain the system from which state employees will be drawing their retirement.
“We had to be sure the retirement system is sound and solid,” Boothe said. “In order to do that we have to maintain the proper funding for that organization.”
