I came across a document titled “Pension Reform Proposal” that was apparently handed out by 3rd Ward Councilman Tobin Brinker when he addressed the Chamber of Commerce on Sept. 21.
This document restates his unrelenting desire to continue his attack on the pensions of city employees, both general and safety. In it, Brinker discusses the 122 employees that earn over $100,000 and how the city can save $1 million by reducing their incomes another 9 percent, by forcing them to cut their personal budgets even more.

Yesterday in Los Angeles at an event with famed philanthropist and felon Michael Milken, Governor Jerry Brown said that he would soon be releasing details of his own pension reform plan, adding that his proposal will include a constitutional amendment and by necessity be put in front of the voters for approval. This comes on the same day that legislative leaders announce the formation of a special committee to review the issue of reforms to the public employee pension system. It is worth noting that the six-member legislative committee that has now been magically formed is stacked with four pro-union votes, thus guaranteeing that no policy recommendations will come from the committee that are not signed off on by the bosses at California Teachers Association, the Service Employees International Union, et.al.

California will sell $2 billion in bonds next week, and the state probably will have to pay significantly more to borrow than it did three weeks ago.
That may lure more yield-hungry individual investors to the securities.
