State workers will pay into pension fund | Hudson Star-Observer | Hudson, Wisconsin

State workers will pay into pension fund | Hudson Star-Observer | Hudson, Wisconsin: "Right now the state pays the entire employee contribution to the pensions of most state and university workers. That will change in January 2011, if only in a small way.

Most state workers will have to pay 2/10 of one percent of their retirement contributions. For an employee making about $40,000, that amounts to about $80 each year."

Did you see that? The state pays the "employee" portion!
