Letter


To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:
This week, the House met to act on Senate messages and Committee of Conferences. The most important bill we took up was SB3, comprehensive reform of the state retirement system. The result is more like the Senate’s version: there is no change for retired people. All active employees will pay about 2% more towards their pensions, but for vested employees (those with ten years of service) the only change is a limit in how much extra pay is credited towards their pension. Non-vested employees have more changes, including using the highest five years, rather than three; a $120,000 maximum pension; and some types of compensation not included in the calculations. For new hires, all extra and special duty pay is excluded, and the minimum retirement age is increased to 50 for police and fire, 60 for others. Finally, a study committee is formed to investigate defined contribution (401(k) type) plans, and the retirement system board is updated, with more public members replacing both employee and legislative members. After some debate and questions, the revision to SB3 passed, 250-112.


I was appointed as an alternate to the committee of conference on HB2, the budget trailer bill. HB2 contains all the law changes necessary to make the budget work, plus all sorts of miscellaneous changes that the House or the Senate considers vital to pass. Dan is an alternate on the committee for HB1, the actual budget. The main difference between the House and the Senate budgets is that the House assumed a deficit for this year, while the Senate assumed a balanced budget. If that is so, the House will be glad to add to the service budgets that were so painful to cut.


Anyone who wants more information than I can fit into a letter should email me for my newsletter.
