Arnold Foundation to Launch Major National Communications Campaign Targeting Public Pensions

September 19, 2014. “This new national campaign represents a very alarming escalation of the Arnold Foundation’s drive to destroy the current, cost-effective public sector pension model, built around the goal of an adequate, affordable, modest retirement benefit that a retiree cannot outlive,” said Meredith Williams, the Executive Director of the National Council on Teacher Retirement (NCTR). Williams pointed out that the Arnold Foundation’s aim was to use this massive new PR initiative to replace the existing public pension model with an accrual or savings rate “that, in reality, provides no assurance of any retirement benefit, adequate or otherwise.” View RFP
