Legislative Update: Less money, same problems

The SEANC staff provides an update on the early weeks of the General Assembly short session, including a revised revenue surplus projection and its effect on possible pay raises and bonuses for state employees and retirees.

The ongoing vacancy crisis in state government has strained services and the people who provide them. The state must invest now to tackle this issue head-on. We also discuss the plight of state retirees and the likelihood of cost-of-living adjustments this year.
