Parisians ask city to consider cost-of-living adjustments for retirees

In Paris, the city council has been asked to consider a cost-of-living allowance for city retirees. The Paris News reports that at this week’s Paris City Council meeting, several local residents advocated for reinstating a cost-of-living allowance that was eliminated 16 years ago. The Texas Legislature recently gave cities more options for structuring cost-of-living allowances through an amendment to the Texas Municipal Retirement System Act.
