Mizeur Calls For State Funded Retirement Accounts

Del. Heather Mizeur, who is running for Maryland governor, has proposed a state-run retirement savings program to help workers who don't have retirement plans from their employers.

Mizeur, a Democrat, announced plans Wednesday for promoting the health, safety and security of Maryland's elderly population. She also wants to seek more funds for Alzheimer's research and create a registry of long-term care workers found guilty of abuse.

She estimates that the retirement savings program would become self-sufficient after a $360,000 start-up cost, and would have enough participants to make the user fees lower than alternative plans.

Hope she realizes she just committed political suicide. Announced her agenda just at a time when most Maryland tax payers are fighting to put an end to all state funded retirement plans. This is great news … one less Democrat we’ll have around to destroy Maryland!

MD State employees, including teachers, have been screwed by the mismanagement and sweetheart management deals for their pensions, and they actually have a pension.

Why would anyone with half a brain let any Maryland entity within a light year of their retirement funds voluntarily?

It is just grist for the mill so someone will waste a few pixels of camera time on her woeful campaign.

Greedy dimwitcrats looking to create another slush fund to dip into for their use. They have robbed the state employees retirement fund, the transportation fund, union dues fund, rainy day fund etc.
I am sure they will run this program as well as Lt. Gov. Brown the Clown ran the state healthcare program.

considering what we have throughout Maryland as Politicos-- we have just learned the name of yet another-- moonstruck lunatic who thinks Governing is income redistribution .. Joe just posted something about the softening of the Housing Market-

-I need to start making some home improvements on my house and get out of Maryland all together and leave it for the Communist cabal who think they can give anything away --while the Federal Unions keep giving themselves more and more
