Pennsylvania House backs hybrid pension plan for new hires
The Pennsylvania House passed 150 to 41 a bill to steer new state and school employees into a hybrid pension combining a traditional benefit on the first 50 000 of pay with a 401k style plan. The measure would not affect current workers and includes a 6 percent employee contribution for 25 years, with a 7.5 percent rate after. Supporters tout long term savings to curb a more than 50 billion dollar pension debt. opponents call it insufficient.
