A majority of California voters are in favor of public-employee pension caps to help balance the state’s budget, according to a poll by The Los Angeles Times and USC.
Seventy percent of respondents say they favor a cap on pension benefits for current and future government workers, and 68 percent want public employees to contribute more to their pensions. Fifty-two percent want the retirement age to be raised for public employees.
Changes and cuts to public workers’ pensions are being discussed across the country, as states and cities try to squeeze already-tight budgets to reduce deficits.
