Adrianne Cady Date 2023-12-14 To my knowledge, no one has mentioned former Gov. Gina Raimondo steering our pension monies to an PEF (Private Equity Fund) in which, I believe, she had a vested interest. Private Equity Funds are not a safe option for investing pension funds, and the results have been devastating to hardworking R.I. State employees such as myself. My long-term planning for retirement included periodic increases as had been contracted, and myself and hundreds of thousands of state employees(excluding the judges) have been impacted by that at an age where they cannot easily seek additional employment income. Thank you for considering this in further planning to reestablish our legally contracted increases. Adrianne G. Cady Submitted via email
