Treasurer, governor disagree on funding state retirement plan

(The Center Square) – Fully funding the state retirement plan is not within the budget proposal of the North Carolina governor, says state Treasurer Brad Briner.

“We are disappointed the governor is proposing for only the second time in 83 years to not fully fund our state’s retirement system,” Briner said in a statement. “This proposal sent to lawmakers today would create a $206 million shortfall in the funds for our retirees over the next two years.”
