| WHAT: |
The New School for Social Research's Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis presents "The Promise of Public Pensions," a lecture by New York State Comptroller Tom P. DiNapoli on his vision for the future of retirement security in New York. The Great Recession's damaging effect on municipal budgets has given urgency to state public pension reform efforts. DiNapoli, sole trustee of the $146.9 billion New York State Pension Fund, will discuss the health and affordability of the New York State Pension Fund, analyze the potential economic and human costs of leading pension reform proposals, and consider the wider implications of the ongoing erosion of retirement security for both public and private sector employees. |
