House Bill 854, which would increase member contributions to PERA and ERA by 1.5%, will be in the Senate Finance Committee (Room 322) hearing on Monday, March 16, probably after the Senate floor session. Unfortunately, there's simply no way of knowing exactly when they'll get off the floor, but at this time of the year it tends to be after 3:00 p.m. or so, so hopefully some of you can make it. It may not even be heard until early evening. Senate Bill 164, which is one of our two arbitration bills, will also be in Senate Finance tomorrow. Let's try to get a big crowd in support of both bills. If you can't make it to Santa Fe, please continue making the calls and emails in the update from earlier today. Thanks! --Carter Carter Bundy Political Action Representative AFSCME International 1202 Pennsylvania St. NE Albuquerque, NM 87110 (505) 266-2177 ext. 13 (work) (505) 266-3155 (fax)
