On Saturday, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings proposed targeting those who got rich from the system. This is sure to accelerate the run on assets via lump sum withdrawals.

Today, DallasNews reports City's plan to save Dallas Police and Fire Pension Fund will target those who got rich from the system.

A City Council briefing posted online late Friday night provided the first glimpse into the city's plan to save the Dallas Police and Fire Pension System from insolvency within the next decade or so. Rawlings and the City Council will discuss the plan Wednesday.
