In an earlier post, I listed a number of government entities, cities and counties that have filed for bankruptcy protection. While these types of filings are relatively rare, unfortunately for the workers of these cities and counties, this often times means that such cities and counties have been able to restructure their debt obligations to fund pension and other retirement plans as well as health care benefits. As a lawyer for everyday working people, I hate to see this happen. Beware and be forewarned. The security of a government pension or retirement plan is not what it once was.
