Dear Editor,

It seems the state has made it a mission to punish state workers who use the RSA and the drop plan.

They say it costs the state money to have the drop plan, and they can no longer afford it. This is misleading and just plain wrong.

This legislation is going to punish all who could have used this plan: police, firefighters and other employees of cities that use RSA for retirement benefits for their employees.

It costs the state nothing but gives to the already underpaid workers.

Thanks, y’all. We will remember what you have done.
