PERA making strides toward sound funding by Gerald L. Chavez on Saturday, February 18, 2012 Read the full article at the Santa Fe New Mexican
> Successfully lobbied for an annual 3% cost of living increase for PERA retirees - better than Social Security!
> Led the effort to pass Constitutional Amendment 4 in 1998, protecting PERA's assets from political raids!
> Worked to establish the New Mexico Retiree Health Care Authority (NMRHCA)!
> Secured two elected PERA retiree board members. Continue to work with PERA to ensure good legislation and security of the PERA fund!
> Partnered with NMRHCA and the Association of Education Retirees (AER), our peer on the teacher's side, to lobby the legislature and sue the governor to keep them from changing NMRHCA without the appropriate planning or studies!
> Provide many member-only benefits and discounts to RPENM members!
Yes, we have taken action and will continue to take action in the future, but please remember one thing: PERA and the NMRHCA were both created by legislative action and can be changed, for good or bad by legislative action.
