Education & outreach

Staff has conducted briefings with over 75 localities in past year.

Larger, stronger credits have generally decided to address their OPEB liabilities

Smaller, less strong credits are often still assessing: Economic conditions make funding a challenge

Cumulative liability starts out small, grows larger over time

Some looking at revising benefits
