Stop AB 1383 — Again

State legislators in the pockets of public safety unions have re-introduced AB 1383, a bill that would boost pension promises without setting aside sufficient funds to meet those promises. That is the same lethal combination that has already led to a 10x increase in annual pension spending since 2000.

Politico reports that California Democrats plan to shelve a research bond measure for the University of California because “there’s only so much bond capacity.” That’s nonsense.
