Pinching Pensions

The California Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday as to what latitude the state has to revise or reduce public employee pensions. The fight is one of several percolating up the courts over 2013 cost-cutting measures. Amici Dan Kolkey (Gibson Dunn, formerly 3DCA) and David Mastagni (Mastagni Holstedt) offer competing views.
