A number of people have raised concerns about the MSU Retirement Consolidation Changes such as the added value that MSU is receiving in either goods or services to limit the number of retirement vendors, and the costs for faculty and staff who wish to retain their previously preferred vendor. Since this involves money that belongs to current and future MSU retirees and not MSU, I wondered if there was a non-MSU affiliated web site that I could point people to who wanted to consider these issues.
