Mr. TANGRETTI. No, I do not, because we do not !sow Mr. TANGRETIT. If I may. how many would take advantage of the options, how many Mr. FARGO. Yes. counties would decide to adopt these early retirement Mr. TANGRE'ITI. In most counties, and I can speak provisions. specifically of the county that I worked for and that I was a Mr. FARGO. Then from that answer, I assume that there part of the pension board on, Westmoreland County, the is no estimated cost to the counties under this particular investment earnings, termed as"excess interest," actually paid, legislation if it were passed. because of the ability to enhance those investments by the Mr. TANGRETI?. That is correct. appropriate instruments in which they were investing, paid not Mr. FARGO. Also, if I understand this bill- only the county's poriion of the contribution, in matching the Mr. TANGRETI?.

Keeping in mind that every county has So by way of that explanation, it is entirely possible if the an investment adviser as well as an actuary, by law, that needs funds are managed correctly, and most of them-and I believe to review these options at the time that they would be probably 99.9 percent are-by law, based on their requirements, discussed and considered and as a consequence, it just makes would be able to, to a large extent, I believe, provide for these sense that a county, in its deliberations with respect to this, early retirement incentives by virtue of their excess interest, or would have that actuary and investment adviser review this at least be able to assist in making those contributions on process and make the best recommendations for it. So I think behalf of the county. it becomes clear at that point, clearer perhaps at that point, Mr. FARGO. Thank you. what makes sense for each county is an individual decision Then if I understand that correctly, under the Mellow bill, that they would have to make. as I recall, the reason for asking for the Mellow bill was really Mr. FARGO. As I looked at the review that we have in the to save money, at least on the current level, by having the Republicans from our research staff, it indicated that there was high-paid employees retire and being able to either not replace a set amount per year that the employees were paying, as we them or to hire people who have a lower wage- do in the State, 5 percent or whatever that might be, as their Mr. TANGRETI?.

The one redeeming factor Mr. 'TANGRETI?. The employee contrihution would not and Representative Tangretti has indicated the one redeeming continue past their retirement. I assume that is what you are factor is the fact that this is optional. But it still means that we asking. The amortization of the costs of the early retirement are putting out in front of the counties, for whatever use they provisions, based on a recommendation of the actuw that does may have, a very, very generous type of election that wdd be 67 of the counties, I believe, is that this needs to be amortizd made for county employees. Not only would it be generous, over 5 years to ameliorate the problem that you are leading to. but it could be vely expensive for the wunty as far as that In normal circumstances, these kinds of provisions, and I county is concerned. believe the ones that we d~dunder the secalled Mellow bill Admittedly, those county commissioners have to answer to for the teachers and for the State employees, were amortized the people who have elected them. But I am not too sure that over a 20-year period. I can see any reason for setting up a 30-percent increase, when Ille whole purpose of this recommendation is to avoid the actually the Mellow bill had a 10-percent increase, and kind of difficulty associated with what you may be leading to. allowing the counties to use up the 30 percent. If in fact that Mr. FARGO. Under this bill, that amortization that you is a very large figure, why is it in the bill? If in fact the county were talking about would be for a 5-year period- commissioners would probably not use it, why is it in the bill? Mr. TANGRETTI. Correct. I am vely concerned that we here are permitting something Mr. FARGO. -and it would have to be paid off, any that is going to be extremely expensive for ow taxpayers and additional costs, because this would have to have been taken make it possible for a retirement plan that is going to be very care of by the taxpayers, within 5 years. expensive to all of the taxpayers across Pennsylvania.
