Gov. Corbett Targets Public School Employees’ Pensions
By Bill Hileman, PFT Vice-President
The PSERS (Pennsylvania School Employees’ Retirement System) logo is a handshake with the slogan “Partners for Your Future.” But it's not an agreement that PA Governor Tom Corbett and some Harrisburg lawmakers want to keep. Instead, they are planning drastic changes to the public sector pension systems, claiming that the systems are not sustainable. And the public school employee pension fight will be in full swing when Governor Corbett presents his 2013-14 budget proposal in February.
