Tax-funded employer contributions to New York’s state and local government pension funds are about to rise sharply. What will be the impact on budgets, taxes and public services? Are New York’s public pensions adequately funded? What can be done to curb pension expenses while fairly balancing the interests of taxpayers and employees? We invite you to join us for the presentation of a new Empire Center report that seeks to answer these questions — culminating in a keynote from a Utah state lawmaker who has been a national leader in state pension reform.
