Roy Weaton

Dear sirs, my name is Roy Weaton .I am a retired teacher.I had money taken out of my paycheck every two weeks for 35 years.I never missed a payment .I could not miss a payment because I had a contract with the State of Rhode Island that I would make my payments and the state would provide me with a pension and a COLA.I fulfilled my part .I have been in touch with Mr.Magaziner He responded as follows Rhode Island pensions. I understand how the 2011 Rhode Island pension adjustment has been difficult for retirees whose cost of living adjustments were frozen. I was not in office when these changes were implemented, but I understand the importance of a livable pension for retired Rhode Island public employees. I spent my 8 years as Rhode Island General Treasurer focused on making the state system financially healthy to ensure that another pension reform will never happen again. Rhode Island pensions.
