The study, released last week by the Pew Charitable Trusts, raises questions about the long-term course of the Public Employees Retirement System, though the system has enough money to pay years’ worth of benefits even if governments and employees didn’t put in another penny. “You’ve heard me say, and I still believe, we’re not in a crisis,” said outgoing PERS Executive Director Pat Robertson.
