I want Alaskans to know that I am still extremely concerned over the cost-of-living adjustment decrease for early military retirees that was part of the budget compromise last month. While I voted for the overall deal to provide better economic certainty nationwide and avert another shutdown, I immediately co-sponsored an effort to restore full retirement pay for military member that was voted down by the Senate majority. I am incredibly frustrated that the Democratic majority in the Senate is showing no urgency in addressing this issue, but I am committed to seeking a solution before this provision kicks in January 2016.
