Wow! The CalPers study is totally shocking and I’ve only made it through the Executive Summary. We all have heard that there’s a looming disaster due to unfunded pension obligations, but this author lays it out in such simple, stark terms that it is hard to look away. It’s one thing to document the soaring costs, but tying that to the future loss of core services and staff reductions required to pay the growing CalPers tab is sobering. Thanks for the link, Kae!
