Today, Paul talks with Jim Wood about how pension management seems to have taken a turn for the worse in recent years. There was a period when active managers were being replaced by academic research, but now pension managers seem to be making poor decisions driven by politics or simply following industry trends. This is concerning, given that they are managing the money of millions of public employees. Listen along as Paul talks about what has changed and how investors can be protected.

Former Waynesboro mayor Bobby Henderson is back, this time running for the At-Large seat on Waynesboro City Council. Henderson joined AFP editor Chris Graham to talk about his decision to get back into the political ring after a two-year hiatus. The focus for Henderson, a military veteran, retired Virginia State Police trooper and lifelong Republican, is on restoring the voice of voters in the city, which has been under the thumb of a MAGA majority led by the vice mayor, Jim Wood, the past two years.
Terry Short Jr. is running for a third term on Waynesboro City Council, this time running for the Ward B seat on the body. Short talks with AFP editor Chris Graham about the 2024 race. Short is one of three independents running for seats against a slate of Republicans hand-picked the sitting vice mayor, Jim Wood, the chairman of the Waynesboro Republican Committee. Wood is the guy who was in national headlines last year for his homophobic slur of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Short was outspoken in his criticism of Wood, who stands to become mayor if the GOP slate is successful in next week's voting. That is, if we get the vote certified. Wood's two appointees to the Waynesboro Electoral Board have filed a lawsuit saying they will not vote to certify the local vote absent a court order, raising issue in the suit with state election law. We cover those topics and others, including housing affordability, education and economic opportunity, in this interview.

The rules around RMDs and inheriting IRAs have changed in recent years, resulting in some investors taking their RMDs too early and other investors trying to figure out how to remove money from an IRA without paying unnecessary taxes. Unfortunately, the government doesn't do a good job educating investors or warning them of the risks of these changes. Today, Paul and Jim Wood, CFP®, work to get investors up to speed on the changes and explain the strategies and rules they are using to help investors make smart decisions with their retirement accounts.

Program for 01/27/23 Jim Wood: Interview with T.C. Stallings, "No Vacancy"
December 12, 2022, Sarah Reith — The Board of Supervisors is looking for $6.1 million to balance its books for Fiscal Year 2021/22, as costs and interest rates soar and sales tax decreases. The county reached a tentative agreement with its largest employee union for a 2% Cost of Living Adjustment, which it might be able to fund with a pension reserve account. The self-funded healthcare plan that was in place when the county racked up a $3.6 million deficit has now been swapped out for a pool plan that will require an increase in employee contributions. That's supposed to save the county $685,000 a year, but unknown future obligations are likely to be sizable. At last week's budget workshop, the Board reviewed an analysis of the costs for building the new jail for mentally ill inmates, which includes millions in staffing. The Board also heard a reminder that the county is still waiting on more than $9 million of covid relief money promised by FEMA. That money has been borrowed from the treasury, and the interest is not recoverable. And there's been no paper trail documenting the direction that former auditor Lloyd Weer allegedly received from the State Controller's office in 2016, telling him the county should spend down the healthcare reserves by not paying into the health plan for three months out of the year or requiring employees to pay into it. Supervisor Ted Williams described the situation to Assembly member Jim Wood last week, and asked him for help from the state. “I don't know, when I've voted on balanced budgets in the past, whether they were actually balanced,” Williams said. “That's coming to light. We have a health plan that was millions over, and part of that was due to a holiday. I understand that's because we got a call from the state. The state said we had accumulated too much money. We needed to spend it down. I don't know what department of the state or why they would have done that by phone instead of writing…our finances are in such disarray, if I were in the state's position, I would be looking at this rural county, thinking, we need to conserve them, clean up this mess and then give control back. Do you have any thoughts on how we move forward? We don't have the local labor pool, we don't have the funds to hire the staffing. It sounds like we have an office that was based on paper and spreadsheets, not automated systems. I think the Board and staff want to move forward and get our books in order, but we don't know how.” Wood was noncommittal, saying, “We're happy to work with you on that. Those are issues that we're becoming aware of. I don't know where there is potential for state resources there, but one of the things I'm always pushing for in my role is more technical assistance and support for rural counties.” Acting Deputy CEO Sara Pierce told the Board the county has received $9.1 million in covid money from FEMA and is still waiting for another $9.4 million. Supervisor John Haschak questioned her and CEO Darcie Antle. Pierce said when the county receives the amount FEMA has promised, it will go into the county's disaster recovery budget unit, since that unit “is currently sitting in a $10 million deficit.” “How does that deficit show up?” Haschak asked. “Are we using reserves to cover that deficit at this point?” Antle told him that she believes the county is paying interest to the treasury, as it is for the money it borrowed to cover the health plan deficit. “And so that interest won't be recoverable,” Haschak deduced. “When FEMA finally pays us, it will just be the base pay.” “Correct,” Antle confirmed. The Board also learned that the new jail will cost the county $2.5 million a year in employee wages and benefits. General Services Agency Director Janelle Rau explained why expectations for ongoing facilities costs at the new jail have risen. “We're moving towards a cost of ownership model, versus the historical practice of what is contained in the Board's Policy 33 regarding facility maintenance,” she said. That policy, last amended in 2007, states that seventy cents per square foot is to be funded for future capital costs. The standards for the cost of ownership model, which includes a capital reserve that budgets for ongoing facilities upkeep, is closer to $3 a square foot. Projections under the new model are sobering, and possibly more realistic. Rau told the Board that, “What we've estimated now, based on that expanded footprint, would be an additional $175,000. Again, currently the Board is not funding capital maintenance reserves. Funding is occurring on a project by project basis.” Supervisor Dan Gjerde argued for several belt-tightening initiatives, including consolidating dispatch services, offering employees the option of a less comprehensive healthcare plan, and unloading county parks. “How can we maintain the pretense that we're going to keep these five or six county parks that are basically neighborhood parks?” he asked, before proposing an aggressive policy for park divestiture. “I think we need to set a schedule, where in the next two to three years, at a certain date and point in time, they will be offloaded. We will put them on the open market, if no non-profit steps forward, if no community services district steps forward, because we do not have the money to maintain our county roads.” The budget ad hoc committee, which consists of Supervisors Williams and Glenn McGourty, made several suggestions, including maintaining the current vacancy rate for non-mandated General Fund positions, except for those currently in recruitment; decommissioning services, including animal control on the coast; and increasing remote work to cut down on county-maintained office space. The budget workshop is on the agenda again for tomorrow's meeting. The Board will also decide on whether or not to accept agreements with two employee unions.
It's the season of ghosts, ghouls, and things that go bump in the night.
