Sisters & Brothers,

We need your help! As we reported to you in the most recent edition of the MPFF Monitor the Minnesota Senate has passed the Omnibus Retirement bill, however the House has yet to give the bill a hearing and move it along towards passage.

The Star Tribune recently ran an editorial calling for the House to take up and pass the bill. The article can be found here. The bottom line is that this bill puts us back on track towards full funding and continues our long-standing cooperation between the State, employees, and employers in making sure our pension is stable into the future.

Here is what we need from you: 5 minutes. That’s it. Take 5 minutes to contact your MN House representative via phone or email. If you don’t know how to contact your legislator just follow this link and put in your address.

Call or email your MN House representative and tell them that you want them to support the Omnibus Retirement Bill, and that they need to pass the bill and move it on to the governor for his signature. 

That’s it! They will know what you're talking about. You’ll most likely get a voicemail when you call but that’s fine. Go ahead and leave a message.

Thank you for your help. If we all take the time to make the call or send an email we can get this legislation over the hump!

Fraternally,

Chris Parsons
