1. Falsehoods in the article:
First: They did not attempt to silence him, they said he misspoke which is pretty obvious.

Second: "Thus, while the state and local governments have been approving increasingly richer pension benefits for public employees over the past decade, CalPERS has not been setting contribution rates accordingly."

I don't know anywherein CA where pension benefits for public employees are growing. In fact, they are getting pretty downright dismal along with our health care plans.

Don't forget that public employees trade higher pay for rapidly disappearing security like health care and pensions.
