The Nei should follow San Diego's lead in moving all new city employee hires hires who are not first responders to the 401k plan. Unions fought it, court slapped them down to the ground as voters had approved it. 

Over the coming years as more new hires are under the 401k plan, city's pension contributions will peak then start to drop. A huge savings for taxpayers. 

Voters need to hold elected bureaucrats feet to the fire, tell them to quit kowtowing to the greed unions, work to save taxpayer's money to end the mounting pension money pit.

The future is clear. San Diego is doing it.  http://wsau.com/news/articles/2017/apr/11/california-court-upholds-san-diegos-pension-reform-plan/
