2 pages. Excerpt: 2004, an otherwise uneventful year, ended with a little excitement. Rep. Rob Andrews (D-NJ) dusted off a PEPPRA bill from 2001 and re-introduced it on November 19.

Among other things, it would require states to set up qualified review boards that could overturn enacted state law on employer contributions.
