Stop the Shift

The AAUP is joining with the Administration of Montgomery College, the County Council, County Executive, MCPS and others throughout the state to oppose the state’s plan to shift the cost of funding pensions for teachers and others to the counties.  The impact to the County of this shift would be significant, and the repercussions would be felt by all of us.  But the point is not just that we as a community would have to do more – there is a fundamental problem with the State negotiating pensions, not properly funding them, and then passing the buck to the local jurisdictions.  A blog and information about how you can make your voice heard on this can be found at www.stoptheshiftmd.com
