Though a bill to make changes to PERS died, lawmakers could still address the system's financial woes during the appropriations process.
Public retirement system debate may not be dead yet this session by Bobby Harrison, Mississippi Today April 7, 2024 Some might mistakenly believe that there is no way for the Legislature to deal with issues surrounding Mississippi’s behemoth public employee retirement program with the recent death of a key bill. But people who follow the legislative process know the old saying that nothing is dead in that process until it is dead, dead, dead.
Hob Bryan, D-Amory, colorfully points out there are two things he can do personally to ensure the financial sustainability of PERS: stay in office as long as possible contributing to the retirement system as all government employees and officials do, and die soon after leaving office so that he does not collect much in terms of retirement benefits. Bryan said he prefers the first option. It is hard to overstate the importance of PERS.
