THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO CORRECT AN INJUSTMENT THAT HAS HURT THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO WORKED HONORABLE FOR AT LEAST 28 YEARS. I HAVE BEEN RETIRED FOR 15 YEARS. I AM LIVING ON AND MAKING PURCHASES WITH MONEY THAT IS 15 YEARS OLD. IT'S HARD TO KEEP UP BUYING FOOD, MEDICINE, AND PAYING MY BILLS, THE SAME BILLS EVERYONE HAS. WHEN I RETIRED, I MADE A DECISION WITH MY WIFE BASED ON THE NUMBERS THAT I GOT FROM THE RETIREMENT BOARD WHICH INCLUDED A 3 PERCENT COLA ADJUSTMENT. AT THE TIME THE NUMBERS WORKED SO I RETIRED. NOW, I CANT AFFORD TO BE RETIRED. I WISH I COULD GO BACK TO WORK.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
