A tutorial in the politics of RI pension "reform"

Video for teachers and public workers lays out the ABC's and arithmetic

The video below was produced by the Rhode Island Retirement Security Coalition which is fighting to preserve the pension rights of public workers.

They produced this video to educate their members on the issues. You may not agree with their position - in the interest of full disclosure, I do support them - but the facts they lay out are real.

The video is very dry - in fact, it's almost like you're sitting in fifth grade math class - which is one of its strong points - you get the facts whether you agree or not. And for those of you who hate public employees and think they are the spawn of Satan, you get to see their own training video.

Because the facts are the facts.
