Westport representative on the state budget

The Fall River Times Herald published this opinion letter from Westport state representative, Michael Rodrigues.
Ah, but that it were so. I don't know what is going to come out of the State House but I suspect the reforms are much more modest than characterized in Mr. Rodrigues letter. Pension, health care and tax reforms are ...

... sorely needed in the Commonwealth. Tough issues to tackle during normal times but this current fiscal crisis presents the opportunity to do them. Contact your state representative and ask them to support reforms.

Nowhere did I read in his letter about new employees being put into a defined contribution retirement plan. Now that would be REAL pension reform.
