At a time when our legislature has cut millions of dollars from health and education programs, it is continuing to allow the state to pay out over $50 million each year for retirement pensions for judges. The Judicial Retirement System is the only one in the state that does not pay for itself. Instead, judges pay for only about 15 percent of their retirement benefits, while the state is left to cover the rest. After only 10 years of employment, a judge over 60 can receive 50 percent of his or her salary at retirement. By contrast, the average state employee over 60 would only receive 20 percent of his or her salary. Our state is paying for an extremely generous judge s retirement system while the governor is cutting money for health and education services. It s time for a change in the law. Act now. Call your state representative and ask that the Judicial Retirement System be reformed.
