Gov. Patrick vows to reform state pension system
Governor Deval Patrick is vowing to reform the state's pension system, which he says unfairly enriches some retired government workers at taxpayer expense.
``Measures to reform the pension system may not be popular. However, they are absolutely necessary steps, because of ongoing trends in recent months to deepen the economic problems,'' said Joseph Daul, Chairperson of the European People's Party Group in the European Parliament, in an interview with FOCUS News Agency.
