There are donors who want a piece of this pension fund.
Sybylla already said BINGO
Privatize it....turn it over to wall street...loot it
turn the fund over to defined CONTRIBUTION as opposed to defined BENEFIT.

This fund provides half of my monthly income. Walker is drooling over the prospect of handing the fund to his buddies. That would be very frightening for state retirees like me.
