CalPERS looks at long-term rate hike to cut risk
CalPERS recognizing their discount rate is inappropriately high; yet political pressure is used as a counter argument against adopting a fiscally sound rate!
The San Diego Police Officers Association and multiple media reports have stated that cops are leaving the SDPD for higher pay at competing departments. This is largely false, the overwhelming percentage of those leaving the SDPD do receive higher pay after leaving, but from their City pensions, not competing departments!
If you’ve heard CalPERS cite their average pension amount of $30,000 or so, you may think that is what…

“CalPERS is considering small increases in employer and employee rates over decades to reduce the risk of big investment losses, a policy that also would lower an earnings forecast critics say is too optimistic.”
I guess those employer/tax payer rate increases will be on top of the dozens of other small rate increases which now loom large. And how is it that CalPERS has the nerve to even consider more rate increases when the current rate increases are just now beginning to be being phased in? And how is it that CalPERS is NOW asking for more when they just approved 99 different ways for their members to side-step Governor Brown’s already weak 12 point pension plan (which he hasn’t even defended) costing the employer/tax payer more dollars that don’t exist in many cases?
– instead of attempting/pretending to placate the abused tax payers, under the guise of answering critics cry’s regarding overly optimistic earnings forecasts (which are very real), how about someone/anyone fire their entire Board of Administration, the current CEO, and replace them with people that will actually manage the pension fund to the benefit of all.
CalPERS is the worst run and most destructive organization in this state … CalPERS is hopelessly & pathetically CORRUPT!
