I have been a teacher in RI since 1995 when I became a teacher and thought I signed up for a 28-33 year commitment with a pension between 60-80% depending on the number of years I worked. BUT, the pension reform of 2011 changed all of that!!! Now I have to work until I am at least 62 years of age for at least 37 years for about HALF of the pension I had planned on!

This is unacceptable and what Gina Raimondo did is criminal!!! Police and Fire regained most of what they had lost which is well deserved. WHEN are the teachers going to get back what we lost and well deserve too?!!!!
