The governor wants to essentially tax state workers more by forcing them to pay more into their pension plans. (Here’s the C-L story on the governor’s wishes.)

It’s ironic. The governor wants employees to pay more as he continues to demand more and more cuts to the state retirement funds. In other words, the governor wants employees to pay more now and receive less later.

Here’s a bet: The governor will support charging workers more, but he will fight to have unemployment taxes for businesses cut. Any takers?
