The governor said Wednesday he’ll ask lawmakers to approve the measure during next year’s legislative session. A government worker can retire, wait 90 days and go back to work for the state, city or county without the loss of public pension benefits.

Richardson wants governmental retirees to wait a year before returning to work and he proposes to suspend their pensions.
