Gov. Tom Wolf (D) vetoed Senate Bill 1 to turn pensions into 401k

In Pennsylvania last week, Gov. Tom Wolf (D) vetoed Senate Bill 1, which would have turned the pensions of state and public school workers into 401(k) plans. The state pension fund has a projected future shortfall. Gov. Wolf indicated the legislation would have produced few savings, but that he was open to discussion about reforming the public sector retirement plan in Pennsylvania.
