Why:        

With national unfunded pension liabilities in excess of $1 trillion, state and local governments throughout the U.S. are under tremendous strain to provide adequate services and meet their pension obligations.  As pension costs continue to skyrocket, policymakers often pull funds from important public services like education, public safety and transportation to pay pension debt. In the end, it's taxpayers and pension holders who pay the price. With compelling messages and thought-provoking analysis, RSI's new video interviews will help journalists explain U.S. public pensions to their audience members.
