When I was hired, I was promised 5% raises every year.

That's still in the books.

But I have discovered that the word notwithstanding is used very liberally in state budgets.

And so notwithstanding, you're not getting a raise this year.

But yeah, people don't look at what's called the tier three level as good as the tier one, which is what I have.

And it might not be, it's different, but it is something that a lot of employers now don't have.

So it is something you just can't rely on it as much as you might think you should or could be able to.

You should have to take some responsibility for it yourself.

Well, the KERS, there's too many acronyms.

The KERS board is made up of nine individuals.

KERS is?

KERS is the Kentucky Retirement System.

KERS manages three pension plans, two for the KERS, which is state government employees, plus the state police.

That board has nine members, six reported by the governors, and three elected.

Two of those three represent the KERS active and retired employees.

The other one is state police.

And so the two KERS system seats are up for election this year.
