"Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5357 (ESSB 5357) ... raises the long-term investment return assumption from 7% to 7.25% for every plan in the state ... [N]othing about the pensions' actual investments has changed to warrant this rosier assumption.... From 2030 onward, Washington will have to fund not only the normal pension costs of current workers, but also the delayed debt service from this maneuver -- effectively paying double for past obligations."

"Under state law and Tacoma law, employees must be notified at least monthly -- in Seattle, each time wages are paid in Seattle -- in writing or electronically, of their PSST balance.... Beginning on January 1, 2019 (or when a CBA expires, for CBAs in existence on December 31, 2018), none of the Seattle standards that exceed state law requirements may be waived. Accordingly, time is running out to negotiate waivers with unions and file those waivers with Seattle's Office of Labor Standards."

"At issue are two actions by lawmakers. In 2007, the Legislature repealed pension 'gain-sharing' that benefited retirees when the markets were doing well. Then in 2011, it ended cost-of-living increases for pensions for public employees enrolled in two older pension plans. Lawsuits were filed by various unions and others opposed to the changes, including the Washington Federation of State Employees."

"If Washington pension plans were judged by the standards that private-sector pensions are required to follow ... Washington pensions would face unfunded liabilities exceeding $50 billion. The costs of truly fully funding public-employee pensions could swamp the state budget, and at more than $20,000 per household, taxpayers too."

Excerpt: Federal law already requires businesses with 50 or more employees to give workers up to 12 weeks of medical leave per year for themselves or to take care of an ailing relative. But it does not require paid leave. Supporters have been trying since 2001 to expand Washington's family-leave law.

Seattle Times

Excerpt: The state actuary estimates that Washington has about a $4.9 billion hole in its pension system. State and local governments are on the hook to make up the shortfall. Nearly half of what's owed can be tied directly to the benefit in question, called gain-sharing.

Dec. 9, 2004
"Recently I wrote a column for this publication contrasting the different approaches to Social Security reform taken by the New York Times and the Washington Post editorial boards; differences that have now put these two media titans on opposite sides of an increasingly heated issue. It was during the presidential campaign that the Washington Post dared to stake out this new territory by challenging firmly entrenched assumptions and seriously considering alternatives to the current[.]"

"The new law entitles an employee to begin using accrued sick leave on the 90th day after his or her start of employment, and unused sick leave can carry over to the following year. However, an employer may limit an employee to a maximum of 40 hours of carry over."
