  1. pete and eny point taken. My panic is that people just don’t understand how dire the crisis is(spent time in muni finance at begin of career, lots of friends still in it).
    It would be terrible to deny people their pensions (lots of teachers in family), but it seems some have gamed the system. Would hate for folks to lose their $1600/month because others(toll takers come to mind) feel they’re entiltled to their full benefit. The pension beneift guarantee corp is not prepared/obligated to help out municipalities with their obligations if they go bust.
    In current environment DC would not be able to help, nor should.

  2. I really don’t relish the thought of having to explain all this multiple times. With Heinz site, I think if you all had better reading comprehension skills you’d get the bread & butter of my arguement a bit more easily.
