Public Pensions Running Wild

A National Center for Policy Analysis summary of facts about state and local government pensions. The bottom line is that states continue to enhance benefits far beyond private sector standards, and that the burden on taxpayers is due to balloon to the point of unsustainability.

Look for the Commonwealth Foundation's study of Pennsylvania pensions, coming soon.
