事情发生的经过: 本周发生了很多影响该州财政的事情, including the release of the latest Debt Affordability Study. It revealed that North Carolina now has a debt capacity of about $1.未来10年每年10亿美元, representing a significant increase from last year as other debt has been paid down. 与此同时, you can read more about additional local obligations to fund the local government retirement system in order to keep pace with declining investment returns.
单词释义: North Carolina has well over $20 billion in estimated water and sewer needs over the next 20 years, so seeing the state’s long-term capital investment capacity increasing should represent some good news as discussions continue about how to address those needs.
在利用: Not a lot of policy talk, at least as far as realistic, likely-to-be-implemented solutions. Instead, it’s election season, with election primaries looming. So look for airwaves to begin filling up with campaign ads touting the virtues and shortcomings of various candidates.
瘦子: 尽管即将到来的焦点是选举, League staff is gearing up discussing strategy for the various policy priorities and predicaments of cities and towns as the legislative short sessions comes into view in April. Be on the lookout for efforts intended to boost those priorities.

The Board of Trustees of the Local Government Employees’ Retirement System (LGERS) voted Wednesday to approve its planned 1.2 percent increase to the system’s employer contribution rate for fiscal year 2020-21 – keeping with their 2019年1月决定 to amend the Employer Contribution Rate Stabilization Policy (ECRSP) in order to keep the system well-funded. This increase represents over $80 million in additional money to the system from employers for fiscal year 2020-21 (materials from the meeting can be viewed 在这里).
The board voted for contribution rates for general employees to increase from the current 8.在2019-20至10财年达到95%.2020-21财年为15%. Please note that these rates for general employees are only for the pension component of your contribution rates; the death benefit contribution can vary from unit to unit for general employees and is in addition to these rates. The contribution rate for law enforcement officers increases at the same pace, rising from 9.70%到10%.90%. 然而, 由于“法庭费用抵销”增加,” the contribution rate for LEOs for fiscal year 2020-21 will be reduced to 10.84%(更多关于偏移量的信息可以查看 在这里).
While the League supports protecting the fiscal integrity of the defined benefit system and appreciates the gradual approach of the increases, we continue to stress that the projected increases are significant and that without some action in the future to sustain the system, cost of adequately funding the pension system could continue to increase to a point that employers cannot absorb alone.
