Administration walks out on meeting
 

Sebac leaders met with representatives of the Rell Administration on April 28th to listen to ideas for yet another retirement incentive package. Sebac asked if the impact any new incentive would have on the unfunded liability had been costed. The answer was no. Management was then asked if it had considered the impact on state services which would occur if large numbers of experienced employees left at the same time. Once again the answer was no. Sebac then noted that it was impossible to bargain in the presence of such little information. The state's response was to get up and leave.
