Virginia changed their pension plan to make employees kick in 5%. It was actually a very smart move because it basically matches the ROI and the state gets to pocket the money that employees “lose” if they leave within 5 years. “Lose” means they get taxed heavily for the refund, like cashing in a 401k.
Ok,Ok, some change is in fact possible.
I would argue though that in states where the problem s ginormous, the Virginia solution would not be of much help
