This is an FYI only, requiring no response. It's been a long time since I reached because the threat against the WRS has abated. You rose up in July 2015, and Scott Walker did not succeed in replacing the WRS's non-partisan governing board with political appointments. Five years later, the ETF reports we will get a raise and the System has never been stronger. A group called POWRS (Protect Our Wisconsin Retirement Security) is currently working on creating a similar system for the private sector. Baby Boomers are retiring at historic levels; many do not have enough savings to live a dignified retirement. We want them to have what we have. At our urging, Tony Evers convened a Task Force on Retiremen last year which came up with some recommendations. Due to Covid and Republican resistance, little has been done to avert this crisis. However, we are not giving up. If you want to join us our, email me. Otherwise, have a happy and prosperous 2022!
