Californians feel pension reform went too far

Posted: 10/5/2012

1 in 5 Californians feels that the Legislature's newly implemented cuts to state employee pensions "went too far", according to a new poll.

The poll, conducted by the University of Southern California and the L.A. Times, saw about 33% of respondents state that this round of pension attacks was "a good balance".

Gov. Brown claimed that the drastic cuts to the pension system, including raising the retirement age and employees' contribution rates, were not enough, and he has pledged to renew his assault on your modest benefits.
