Editorial Questions L.A. Pension Reform Proposal
A Los Angeles Times editorial notes that a proposal under review by the Los Angeles City Council would seek "a sharp rollback in pensions for newly hired employees, offering them lower benefits with less financial help from the city," adding that the proposal "wouldn't touch current employees' benefits." However, it argues that "if the city's pension benefits aren't sustainable, it doesn't make sense to offer them to the next generation of employees."
