Vermont’s Own Pension Chicken Little, David Coates, Will Be Promoting Alarmist Pension Theories At “Invitation Only” Conference
Vermont’s own pension Chicken Little, David Coates, will be leading an upcoming "invitation only" conference to promote his annual "the pension sky is falling" theory, which is that underfunded teacher and state employee pension plans are ruining Vermont. In the past, VSEA President Dave Bellini has called out Coates for being an alarmist about a state employee pension system that is actually pretty well funded, compared to most states, and continues to hold its own, even given the volatility of the stock market.
