Peter, your New York politicians signed you up for those lavish public employee pensions, YOU pay for them.
New York’s money problems have zero to do with public pensions. The NYS retirement system is well funded and so far has been well managed. The state CAN NOT touch the money, and oh boy does Andy wish he could.
NY State public employee retirements are not in trouble. They would be if the state govt. could get their hands on it, but so far they can not.
So lets just put that stupid little myth to bed, shall we?
NY State is in trouble because of stupid decisions and stupid spending by Democrats. Period.
