From Sac Bee:
A majority of California voters support Gov. Jerry Brown’s plan to dial back public employee pensions and a plurality think that state and local government retirements are “too generous,” according to a new Field Poll.
A little more than half – 51 percent – said that Brown’s pension proposal “strikes about the right balance.”
Poll director Mark DiCamillo said that finding shows that Brown, a union-backed Democrat who introduced a 12-point pension reform plan last month, has credibility with voters.
“He hasn’t riled up one side or the other,” DiCamillo said. “He’s managed to strike the middle ground on a very polarizing issue.”
