MSU
Faculty Association supports the Springfield Police and Firefighters in their
quest to fund their pensions. Voters are
being asked on April 8, 2014 whether they would repeal the existing ¾
cent sales tax funding the pensions. Voting NO renews the tax. In 2010 the pensions were 40%
funded. Now because of the voter
approved sales tax, the pensions are 67% funded. If the pensions sales tax is renewed on April
8, 2014, the pensions could be fully funded by 2019 or sooner.
Tuesday, April 8, 2014 –
please vote NO. Voting NO renews the
tax.
