Money is fungible. This moving of “contributions” between employee and employer is a shell game. It all comes from one source, tax revenues. If employee “contributions” go up, I guarantee union contracts will demand pay increases to compensate. Neither the state nor the school district will save a dime by increasing employee contributions to pensions.

Chris, that’s why we passed Prop. 30 in 2012. It was to make sure funding went to the pensio…I mean to the students.
