A Separate State Agency to Review all Pension Issues? Where. What. Why.

Which state has a separate agency that reviews and analyzes all pension changes? Pennsylvania has an agency called the Public Employee Retirement Commission.

What’s going on with this special pension agency? The Pennsylvania line item vetoed it proclaiming each of the state and municipal pension systems already provide this analysis.

Why the fighting over this? The issue is familiar to Texas, does a line item veto shut down an agency or is legislation required to shut down an agency.
