Wisconsin lawmakers are looking to have some public employees and school teachers work a bit long.
A new plan at the statehouse would raise the retirement age for the Wisconsin Retirement System to 59-and-a-half years-old. That’d be up from the current retirement age of 55. Cops and firefighters would be exempt. The retirement wrinkle is just part of the plan.
State Senator Duey Stroebel is including the change as a way to offset his other plan which would allow retired teachers to come back to classrooms in the state, and not negatively impact their pensions.
