Constitution of the State of Michigan, Section 24:
"Pension plans and retirement systems, obligation.
The accrued financial benefits of each pension plan and retirement system of the state and its political subdivisions shall be a contractural obligation thereof which shall not be diminished or impaired thereby."

The question arises thusly: If, indeed, there is a shortage of funds in any particular plan or system, does Section 24 obligate the State of Michigan to, well, "pick up the difference"???

What say you, oh wise ones????
