In a major legislative victory for retired public employees, the Senate passes a comprehensive pension reform bill aimed at restoring and protecting benefits that have been a longstanding priority for this group. The bill, which garners bipartisan support, addresses years of concerns from retired teachers, firefighters, police officers, and other public sector workers who faced uncertainty regarding their pensions.

It also introduces new funding mechanisms designed to stabilize pension systems, making them more resilient. . .
