A retirement incentive proposal from Governor Robert Bentley will not be needed before the next legislative session begins in February.
In September Governor Bentley began talking about passing incentives for veteran state employees to retire in an effort to reduce the state’s payroll. The Associated Press reports that Bentley has decided the incentives are no longer needed because enough people are leaving state service and because the state is saving money in other areas.
Alabama State Employees Association Director Mac McArthur says he doesn’t think the proposal was well-received and nearly everyone who expressed an interest in the retirement incentives was already planning to retire. More that 200 had expressed interest to the state Personnel Department, far fewer than the 2,600 who retired when the state last offered incentives in 1998.
