Meanwhile in NY, we learn that Democrat Governor Cuomo is seeking.....to do the exact same thing!
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, joining a parade of officials from across the country who are seeking to rein in spending by limiting public employees’ pensions, proposed Wednesday to broadly limit retirement benefits for new city and state workers in New York. (NYT, 6/8/2011)
