You raise good points about pensions, but given the length and nature of the piece I did not want to delve too much into pension law. Precedent set in the case is always a major concern.

However, your articles falls extremely short on several important facts. In fact, your article is somewhat slanted and bias.

What you failed to research the rights of pensioners in relation to Michigan Law protecting pension benefits. You did not mention Judge Rhodes personally not wanting to rule against Michigan Law in fear of a backlash on other state laws.
