POWIP Piece of Work In Progress – Former Abode of Dan Collins

Pensions roundup, 12July2010

• NY trucking company being investigated for bilking [private] union pensions - using the rules to get around having to make contributions, which leads to the second item
• List of troubled private union pensions - looking down the list, I see the NYS Teamsters fund is 51.4% fundedness. If you were wondering: that's not good.
• A tale of two corrupt cops - one has his pension now, and one does not
• Pension politics injected into comptroller race in NY - DiNapoli has something of a point: the new tier in NYS pensions would cut down on the spiking; but it doesn't really help with the hordes of overtime-abusing people currently straining finances
• When will NJ pension money run out? - median answer: 2021.

Meep

Meep is a member of the Irish Catholic mafia, having a suspiciously high number of green-eyed, red-haired friends. While she doesn’t have red hair herself [except when she goes into the sun (rare for any vampire)], she does have green eyes. She’s a raving Papist and is a life actuary on the side [i.e., she counts dead people]. An amateur pain-in-the-ass [willing to go pro!], she likes covering retirement, mortality, math, and education issues.
