So
far this year the cities of San Bernardino, Victorville, and Mammoth
Lakes have filed for bankruptcy and other municipalities have made
noise about following suit. While many factors influence these
decisions, a common cause is frequently identified: the financial
crisis created by public employee pensions negotiated during more
prosperous times.
Cities
and counties now struggle to meet these obligations as well as the
general services expected of local government. Supervisor John Moorlach,
who has been at the forefront of Orange County’s efforts to address
these issues has stated that “pension costs are now becoming the
growing ulcer inside municipal budgets.”
Please
join the Orange County Federalist Society on September 27, 2012 for a
special presentation by the Honorable John Moorlach, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, as he describes
the fiscal challenges presented by public employee pensions as well
as options for responding to and reforming the same.
