\\nDear District 1 RPEC members (Chapters 6\, 7\, 8 and 37)\,
\nWe had some success in this year’s legislative session that ended recently.
\nEarly in t he session there were fears of heavy cuts to the PEBB benefits due to the pandemic. However\, with the unexpected new cash flow from the other Washi ngton the benefit survived without changes.
\nThe billionaire capita l gains tax passed as well as an 800-million-dollar payment against the un funded mandate deficit in the TRS 1 fund.
\nBut once again\, a propo sed one-time cost of living increase for PERS 1 retirees didn’t make the f inish line.
\nTo find out what happened\, we will hear from a select group of legislators at our District 1 Zoom meeting at 1pm – 3pm\ , Tuesday\, June 8th.
\nYour questions will be welcomed!
