WA pension fund raid sparks federal lawsuit by first responders

from Clark County Today News

The plaintiffs argue the move violates constitutional contract clauses and leaves benefits vulnerable to market downturns, while supporters maintain the law protects pension guarantees while addressing state budget shortfalls. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/plan-to-sweep-4b-from-wa-police-and-firefighter-pension-fund-spurs-lawsuit/ #WashingtonState #PensionFund #Lawsuit #FirstResponders #BudgetCrisis #LEOFF1 #Politics
