David Yassky on Huffpost
Councilman Yassky has a great piece on Huffpost that focuses on reforming the City pension system.
“A few weeks ago, the four candidates for City Comptroller met for a debate. The moderator asked if we would support changes in the City pension rules to reduce the cost of the system to taxpayers. This comes as the New York Times reports today that pension costs to local governments like New York City may triple if we don’t enact certain reforms.
The other three competitors flatly ruled out any pension reform; I responded that in light of the City’s severe budget problems, we can’t take any option off the table.”
