Fellow Mississippi public employees and retirees:

Gov. Barbour chose a group of citizens to for a PERS study commission with Gulfport Mayor George Schoegel as chairman. On Sept. 14, at a study commission hearing, Schoegel plainly state that Mississippi is spending too much money on retirees’ 13th checks. The 13th check is our cost of living adjustment.

Please help protect PERS by visiting the website www.honoryourpromise.us to sign the petition and become a fan of the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/honoryour promise.

Our retirement plan should not have to bear the brunt of our state’s financial situation. Your pension was promised to you by the state and together, with your support, we will make sure politicians honor their promise.

Please join the efforts of the Honor Your Promise committee to keep our retirement benefits sound. Numbers do count!

More information can be found at info@honoryourpromise.us.

Thank you for supporting the cause and helping to make a difference.
