I’m one of your longtime readers, and an online subscriber. I normally applaud your editorial efforts, but why do you keep saying that state government employees can retire at 55 [June 2 Gazette]? That is simply not true. Tier I employees can retire at 55, but nearly all of them have been retired for years now. There are practically none left. I retired from state service three years ago, after 30 years of service, and I am Tier II. We Tier II folks cannot retire until 62, and there are hardly any of us left Thus, nearly all state workers already have 62 as their retirement age. I recognize that there is a pension problem, but you are consistently exaggerating the situation. Please get it right.
