TO: NCRSP LEADERS
NOW IS THE TIME TO CONTACT THE BUDGET CONFEREES!
NCRSP is in support of the General Assembly funding the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) of $181 million for the Teachers and State Employees Retirement System. The Senate has recommended only $20 million be appropriated. The House of Representatives has recommended $40 million, with a provision that could potentially add up to $135 million more from delinquent business taxes collected during the year.
A Conference Committee has been appointed to sort out the differences in the two budgets. Now is the time to contact your Senators and Representatives and ask them to support the House version of the budget regarding funding of the Retirement System. All of them need to hear from their constituents but particularly those members on the Conference Committee.
Find out if your legislative representatives are on the Conference Committee by visiting the General Assembly website: www.ncleg.net

Please share this information with your members locally. Act on this right away, as the members of the Conference Committee are trying to finish their work in the next two weeks in order for the final budget to be voted on by the end of June. Thank you for your attention to this important matter!!!!
