We went straight to the source to get answers for our members. Retirement Systems Executive Director Sam Watts joined this week's episode of The SEANC View podcast to discuss the board's action, why retirees are unlikely to receive a COLA this year, when they can expect one, and other issues surrounding state retirement.
