I am also a government worker and read this magazine! It's good!

Here's a really interesting article about the guy who runs Alabama's employee pension system that's also kind of a primer on public pension issues generally: http://www.governing.com/topics/mgmt/gov-alabama-david-bronner.html

Here is a very bad article about how the billionaire that wants to gut public employee pensions just has their best interests at heart. :jerkbag:

I'm not exactly sure how some of these get written, is it some sort of attempt to scare off people from government work because without the pensions the job has no justification for being below market rate pay?

According to her bio on the website the author used to write for a DC conservative rag. Also Governing is non-profit I believe, so maybe they get some money from his foundation.

And just smh at the disgusting public employee entitlement on display in this post. Next thing you know you'll want a cost of living increase greater than 1%!

Governing just tweeted this and the framing of the story is driving me insane.
