Pension Realities*
Marc Comtois
R.I. taxpayers facing increased contribution to state pensions.
For Men:
...the moves would increase the projected amount that state and local taxpayers are required to pay for these public employee pensions from an overall $308.5 million this year and $358.7 million next year to $621.8 million in the budget year that begins July 1, 2012.And, as Monique mentioned last night, don't look for any reform before this year's budget is submitted.
For Women:
Meanwhile, as Andrew's invaluable list of bills showed, the unions are making their move to forestall reform--including pension reform--in the state senate by setting the status quo into law. Donna Perry and the ProJo editors noticed.
