William (Bud) Pierce: Legislation to require automatic enrollment with a payroll deduction mechanism, while allowing employees to opt out, should be considered to improve individual savings for retirement. Improving job quality (pay), while lowering the cost of living (Oregon is the nations second least affordable state) will do much to help people save for retirement.
Kate Brown: Oregonians deserve the opportunity to work for a reasonable wage and plan for their future so they can retire with greater peace of mind. The first step in ensuring all workers have retirement security is creating the new state retirement savings program. We should be moving toward more opportunities to save for retirement--not take options away. I will continue to increase awareness of retirement security issues and support legislation to do so.
