In this Thursday, May 1, 2014 photo, Lou Tashash, owner and president of R-D Manufacturing Inc., left, watches painter Francisco Mirlas powder-coat metal at his precision sheet manufacturing business in East Lyme, Conn. Tashash, who employs 14 workers, is lobbying legislators to kill a measure to establish a state-run pension plan, which he sees as a burdensome mandate. Lawmakers in Connecticut and other states are responding to a widespread loss of private-sector pensions, a lack of access to employer-sponsored retirement accounts in smaller businesses and stagnant incomes that make it hard for workers to contribute to their own retirement plan or company account.
