Aguirre: Promised city pensions can't be sustained

SAN DIEGO, 6:03 p.m. March 9 (SIGNONSANDIEGO)

City Attorney Michael Aguirre said Thursday that San Diego's municipal workers would be better off finding employment elsewhere because the pension benefits they were promised cannot be sustained.

Aguirre pointed to a series of documents from the retirement system that he said support his claim that the pension fund cannot support future retirees.

Pension officials said Wednesday there is enough money to pay benefits to all of its retirees for the next two decades.

A decade of underfunding has left the San Diego City Employees' Retirement System saddled with a deficit of at least $1.4 billion, a number likely to grow when revised figures are released next Friday.
