It was doing just fine when they made a bad investment. They got some of the money back, but not all (if I remember correctly). We've paid into that fund for years and my children/grandchildren are teachers and doing the same thing, today. They've stolen their seniority and union rights. How else do they intend to punish teachers and public employees? God, I hate them!
