Summary judgment in favor of defendants on plaintiffs' claims that certain amendments to Maine's public employee retirement system violate the Contract and Takings Clauses of the United States Constitution is affirmed, where: 1) plaintiffs, regardless of whether they retired before or after the 1999 amendments, have no contractual entitlement to cost of living adjustment (COLA) benefits calculated under pre-2011 law, and therefore, the 2011 amendments did not violate the Contract Clause; and 2) this finding forecloses the Takings claim.
