Marty: What does CalPERS cost us?
Last week I discussed the size of CalPERS retirement pensions. The key point was that the there are large variations between employee groups. The bottom three groups retiring in FY 2010-11 – all miscellaneous employees – averaged $21,000 to $38,000 at 21 years service and age 61.
