Unlike other states, MN public pensions have:Disciplined funding – correct problems as they occur with
positive effect on state’s bond ratingModest benefits – public employer contributions represent
only 1.6% of total MN state & local government spending, compared to 2.9% of spending of other states
Proactive benefit reforms -- Post Fund eliminated, age 66 retirement age (passed in 1989), Rule of 90 eliminated
Employee contributes half the cost (except public safety) 2010 Pension Reform Bill – bold corrective action that is
working
22
MN Pensions More Conservative than Other States
