Gov. Mark Dayton Thursday signed a bill to stabilize pensions for more than 500,000 workers and retirees in Minnesota. State officials call it a historic day, saying it is the largest pension reform legislation in state history. Both the Senate and House passed the bill unanimously.

​The three year journey for the pension bill ended at six minutes before the deadline of midnight Sunday. The public pension funding bill passed the Senate 65-0 after it passed the House 131-0. The bill is now headed to Governor Dayton’s desk where he is expected to sign S.F. 2620 into law. 
Minnesota takes its fiscal responsibility seriously.
