Question of the Day: Is new legislation a solution to the state retiree Medicare issue?

Here is the Question of the Day:

Senate Bill 29, which seeks to increase the number of retirees on the State Employee Benefits Committee and create a Retiree Healthcare Benefits Advisory Subcommittee, was passed Wednesday and sent to the House. New members would be appointed by House and Senate leadership and the governor. The bipartisan bill also would require meetings that allow public comment and sets a date of May 1 for the subcommittee to report findings and recommendations to the governor and General Assembly. What effect do you think this will have on the state retiree Medicare issue?
