The Governor has agreed to talk with legislators, DSEA and other state Coalition representatives about cost savings in health care, taking off the table for this session, his proposal to shift increased health care costs to new state workers by creating what is known as a two-tiered health care and pension benefit plans. Do you favor such an approach?

The Governor had proposed increasing by more than 100% the cost of health care for new state employees; and increasing their contribution as well as decreasing their early retirement options. Do you favor or oppose?
