ST. PAUL, MN – On Wednesday, House Speaker Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, appointed Rep. Tony Albright, R-Prior Lake, to the Legislative Commission on Pensions and Retirement. The Commission “is a bipartisan joint commission that considers pension and retirement-related legislation. A significant portion of this legislation addresses pension and retirement benefits for public employees across the State of Minnesota.”
“Last session, the governor vetoed an extremely bipartisan pensions bill, which means it’s more important than ever to find long-term solutions to Minnesota’s pension system,” said Albright. “I’m honored by this appointment, and can’t wait to get to work for the future of our state.”
The 2016 pension bill, SF588/HF659, passed the Legislature on a combined 181-4 vote before being vetoed by Governor Mark Dayton.
