Ironically, South Dakota is being reprimanded for its good stewardship while poorly funded retirement plans, with much higher contributions, are not facing the same consequences. South Dakota’s pension cost, on average, is half that of other public retirement plans nationally. We are currently working with the new administration to right this wrong, and I am hopeful they will work with us to find a common sense solution. In the case of our pension system, “different” is good and it’s not something that should be punished.

Even though SDRS is a low-cost, efficient retirement system, the Obama Administration took the position that our plan does not adhere to the rigid guidelines for pension reimbursement. Within South Dakota state government, essential services that are mandated by the federal government are provided by state employees. State workers provide these services for efficiency reasons and to save taxpayer dollars. In reality, SDRS provides retirement benefits more efficiently, thereby reducing the cost of benefits for both state and © 2008 KrazyDad.com Check next Tuesday’s paper for the solution to today’s puzzle.
