Another issue that should wait

I’ve been doing media interviews the past couple of days on the state’s various financial problems. Today I got a call on comments Tom Corbett made regarding the pension crises. He said something about not being able to afford the current system, but evidently was short on specifics. I gave the reporter more detail about the possible solutions and what the discussions have been in the legislature. I am a proponent of establishing a defined contribution plan for all new enrollees. The current system can’t be sustained and the minor changes proposed in the current House bill are not sufficient. This is another issue that should wait until we have a new administration. This Governor should not make this long term decision on his way out the door.
