Companies with «defined benefit plans» are obliged contractually
to set aside earnings in a
special fund that will generate enough
interest, dividends or capital gains
to be paid out

to ignore the crushing reality of the looming financial crisis at the hands of unfunded
retiree liabilities, and so long as the Legislature fails
to fundamentally overhaul the authorizing structure in California, we anticipate that powerful
special interests will continue
to use charter public schools as a red herring
to avoid the hard decisions that lie ahead,» continued Marquez.
