Well you also seem to be under the impression that:

1) All PERS pension plans are the same. They're not. There's three tiers. 

2) It was the employees who made this mess. Not true. Employees preferred more pay but was offered more generous retirement instead, which was cheaper for the State. (6% pickup, specifically). Pay was generally lousy for workers so the retirement was the enticement. How is the benefit package the fault of the workers?
