Letters: SC Retirement System already ‘hurts’ workers

Gov. Nikki Haley says that fixing the S.C. Retirement System will “hurt” state employees.

The experts are still taking their money, but now she wants to put state employees on the hook for their underwhelming performance.

Welcome to governing, South Carolina style.
