Cal Watch: Public Safety Pension Shortfalls Vex Candidates, Taxpayers

From California Watch’s Ryan Gabrielson:

Many of the loudest calls for California public pension reform point to law enforcement retirement plans as Exhibit A in showing that the state is too generous to police officers and other public safety employees.

So it is interesting to note that the Republican gubernatorial nominee Meg Whitman has said that pensions for new public safety employees should remain essentially the same.
