Mayor Jim Gray of Lexington, Kentucky is taking a victory lap for pension reform. But at the end of the day Lexington, KY is still in the pension business. A true victory for taxpayers would be a complete exit from pensions. The private sector, where most taxpayers work, has already shifted to a defined contribution or 401(k) plan. It’s time the public sector does the same.

E.J. plays a Yamaha Recording Custom drum set with Zilldjian cymbals. His first drum set was a 5-piece Slingerland with Zilldjians. He grew-up worshiping Neil Peart (RIP) of the band Rush, and loves the song Tom Sawyer—the name of his family’s boat, a Grady-White Canyon 306. He grew up in Mattapoisett, MA, an idyllic small town on the water near Cape Cod. He spends time in Newport, RI and Bartlett, NH—both as far away from Wall Street as one could mentally get. The Newport office is on a quiet, tree lined street not far from the harbor and the log cabin in Bartlett, NH, the “Live Free or Die” state, sits on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest. He enjoys spending time in Key West and Paris.
