Connecticut is bracing for a tsunami of retirements. On July 1st about 8,000 executive-branch employees will be eligible to retire. On that very same day, state retirement benefits will be reduced. Connecticut officials anticipate an exodus of workers. Some see it as a financial boon to the state budget. Others say it's a unique opportunity to diversify the government workforce.
