Shapiro, as a legislator, co-sponsored this bill and obviously voted for it.<\/p>\n<p>For example, for fiscal year 2025\u201326, PSERS\u2019s employer contribution rate is approximately 34 percent of payroll, which is easily misunderstood.\u00a0\u00a0Only about 5.45 percentage points of the employer contribution rate represents the employer normal-cost component.\u00a0\u00a0Approximately 27.5 percentage points are associated with the unfunded accrued liability and the amortization of the unfunded liability.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, more than 80 percent of the current pension-related employer contribution rate is associated with paying down legacy unfunded obligations rather than the normal employer cost of benefits currently being earned.<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania isn\u2019t simply paying for today\u2019s pensions.\u00a0\u00a0It is still paying for yesterday\u2019s pension debt.\u00a0\u00a0The Commonwealth finances a substantial portion of school-employer pension contributions, while school employers finance the remainder.<\/p>\n<p>School districts have multiple revenue sources, so it would be inaccurate to claim that every pension dollar comes directly from property taxes.\u00a0\u00a0But property taxes are the principal locally controlled revenue source for most school districts.\u00a0\u00a0When pension costs consume billions of dollars that might otherwise be available for teachers, special education, transportation, buildings, and other educational expenses, the pressure ultimately reaches the local taxpayer.\u00a0\u00a0This is the connection the public rarely sees.<\/p>\n<p>When investments perform well, assets grow, and future funding requirements can improve.\u00a0\u00a0When investments perform poorly, promised pension benefits do not simply decline.\u00a0\u00a0The deficiency becomes an unfunded liability.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/interstatelogisticshubs.com\/?p=5730\">Migrants in Ceuta catch an infant dolphin and beat it to death\u2014because it\u2019s fun for them<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Someone eventually has to finance it, and that someone is the taxpayer and the property owner.\u00a0\u00a0Renters also pay in that rents are increased to cover the costs of those pension obligations.<\/p>\n<p>If the unfunded liability is real enough that taxpayers must spend decades paying it down, shouldn\u2019t the savings be equally real when the debt is finally extinguished?<\/p>\n<p>That question is not theoretical.\u00a0\u00a0Earlier PSERS actuarial projections showed employer contribution rates remaining extraordinarily high through the mid-2030s.\u00a0\u00a0Then something remarkable happened.\u00a0\u00a0One projection showed the employer contribution rate falling from more than 42 percent of payroll in 2035 to approximately 25 percent in 2036 and continuing downward thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>More recent PSERS stress testing still anticipates a major reduction after the large Act 120 \u201cfresh-start\u201d amortization base is paid off in 2035 under its central assumptions.\u00a0\u00a0That is the expected consequence of accomplishing what taxpayers were told these extraordinary contributions were intended to accomplish: paying off the legacy pension debt.<\/p>\n<p>If the debt is paid, the extraordinary cost associated with paying the debt should decline.\u00a0\u00a0But that creates an important public policy question today: What happens to the resulting decline in costs?<\/p>\n<p>Imagine that the legacy liability declines, and the required employer contribution begins falling dramatically, as was originally projected for 2036.\u00a0\u00a0A future governor and General Assembly would suddenly have substantial fiscal capacity available without the appearance of raising taxes.\u00a0\u00a0Transparency is critical.<\/p>\n<p>There is another reason to address this issue now rather than wait until 2035.\u00a0\u00a0Under severe adverse scenarios, elevated contribution rates can persist for decades.<\/p>\n<p>Now imagine a major recession.\u00a0\u00a0Financial markets decline, reducing pension assets, and the unfunded liability increases.\u00a0\u00a0Yet pension benefits must still be paid.\u00a0\u00a0That recession will place extraordinary pressure on the Commonwealth budget, school districts, and taxpayers precisely when all three are least capable of absorbing it.<\/p>\n<p>This is where pension policy intersects with the annual state budget.\u00a0\u00a0PSERS determines an actuarially required employer contribution.\u00a0\u00a0School districts incur pension obligations based upon that contribution rate.\u00a0\u00a0The Commonwealth reimburses school employers for a substantial share.\u00a0\u00a0Those are interconnected economic transactions, but they occur in different organizations and different budgets.<\/p>\n<p>That separation creates the opportunity for confusion.\u00a0\u00a0A future Commonwealth budget could change the timing of pension reimbursements, finance obligations through another revenue source, defer payments, or create pension obligations outside the traditional employer contribution mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania\u2019s new cost-of-living adjustment for certain longtime retirees illustrates why this matters.\u00a0\u00a0The question is how transparently government finances the promise.\u00a0\u00a0The new obligation uses a separate gaming revenue funding mechanism rather than simply flowing through the traditional employer contribution structure, but the cost did not disappear.\u00a0\u00a0It moved.<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania pension policy therefore involves three legitimate interests: government, employees, and taxpayers.\u00a0\u00a0Those interests should be aligned.\u00a0\u00a0That may require greater statutory transparency.<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania made an explicit promise to its public-school employees.\u00a0\u00a0Pennsylvania also made an implicit promise to taxpayers when it required them to finance decades of extraordinary pension contributions:<\/p>\n<p>Many of those taxpayers have no guaranteed pension themselves.\u00a0\u00a0They bear the investment risk in their own retirement savings while simultaneously helping bear the funding consequences when a public pension system experiences investment shortfalls.<\/p>\n<p>A pension promise creates two obligations: one to the employee who earned the benefit and another to the taxpayer who must finance it.\u00a0\u00a0Good stewardship requires having the courage to protect both.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/interstatelogisticshubs.com\/?p=5726\">Unbearable progressive lunacy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
