Supporters of Calif. Pension Reform Measure Mounting Legal Battle Against State AG’s Official Description
On Thursday, San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed (D) said a legal challenge is mounting against the state attorney general's official description of a proposed ballot measure that would grant cities greater authority to change pension and retirement benefits for public workers. Supporters say the wording does not accurately represent the intent of the measure, but delays caused by a legal fight could set the measure back to the 2016 ballot.
