Here is a useful link to a summary of what the Free Press has found: http://www.freep.com/article/9999999...heme=PENSION09

After reviewing those articles and remembering that Monica Conyers and Candia Minton were voting members of the pension investment board you hve to wonder why the union members would want to keep the status-quo. What and have their life savings "invested" by professionals when Mon Con and her ilk are available?

So what if they steal, take lavish trips, give insider deals for bribes or invest the funds poorly? You the taxpayer have guaranteed their Cadillac pension plan that is not available to you. They screw up and you pay up. This is a great system!
