Teacher Retirement System Reform Passes House

The House today voted to fund Oklahoma's teacher retirement system with a plan to pump more than $200 million into the system over the next five years. "It's taken us a long time to get into this situation, and it will take us a long time to get out. But this is a major step in the right direction," said Rep. Tad Jones (R-Claremore), who presented the plan on the House floor. "This is a permanent funding solution for what is a looming crisis for our state."
