Many states, counties, and cities emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting recession with record cash reserves following the US government's injection of $5 trillion to revive the economy and prop up local government budgets. But even after the unprecedented federal support, states and municipalities have been left with more than $1.3 trillion in unfunded liabilities for public employee pension benefits that were promised but are not fully funded. Join our panel of experts as they discuss strategies that state and local governments are adopting to reduce this pension burden and whether they may have to reduce spending for education, infrastructure, and other critical public services to make room for increasing retirement contributions. Our panel of experts includes Liz Farmer, public finance journalist and co-host of the Public Money podcast; Vedanta Goenka, senior municipal strategist, Citigroup; Merl Hackbart, professor emeritus, Martin School of Public Policy and Administration, University of Kentucky; Shoaib Khan, director, New Jersey Treasury Division of Investment; Anthony Randazzo, executive director, Equable Institute; and Les Richmond, vice president and actuary, Build America Mutual. Notable Quotes: “We have a target of approximately 30% of the [pension] portfolio to alternative asset classes,” - Shoaib Khan. “Our top assessment from a 50 state review of data is that funding strategies for public plans have significantly improved whether we look at the last five years or the last 15 years,” - Anthony Randazzo “As far as pension funding is concerned, we–– as Anthony mentioned –– have seen a tremendous improvement in ratios since the pandemic,” - Vedanta Goenka “The adjustments that state and local governments have made to their pension systems in response to pension system concerns, such as adjusting benefits, supplemental funding, and ensuring contributions are meeting their requirements, has demonstrated a commitment to take actions to ensure the sustainability of pension systems,” - Merl Hackbart "So, you might have neighboring towns that have very similar pension profiles — one is carrying a high amount of debt, one is carrying a little amount of debt — I would say the one with a little amount of debt is in much better shape. So it calls for granular analysis [if] we're going to answer the question if pensions are still in crisis.” - Les Richmond “In a lot of places, [pensions are] still very much an issue, but in terms of the national conversation, pensions have definitely kind of taken a step back.” - Liz Farmer Be sure to subscribe to Special Briefing to stay up to date on the world of public finance.

Great conversation with Capt. Anthony Randazzo and Paradise-Plus Lodge. www.paradise-plus.com
Anthony Randazzo is the owner of Paradise Plus Lodge in Buras, Louisiana—the redfish capital of the world. He and his business have overcome numerous hardships over the past several years including one of the most devastating hurricanes in history, a massive ecological disaster and an unprecedented global pandemic. Anthony and I have spent a lot of time together traveling and fishing the Redfish Tournaments and have maintained contact and our friendship since those ended for us many years ago. Anthony is, in my estimation, one of the finest redfish guides and angler found on planet Earth.

Anthony Randazzo owns Paradise - Plus lodge in Venice LA. Today, he joins the podcast to show us some new uses for an old standby knot. The Palomar knot has always been considered one of the strongest ways to tie a hook or lure to the end of the line. But today, Anthony shows us how to tie it on a bare spinning reel spool. This is a really good trick because it eliminates the need to spool monofilament, then tie the braid on. When braid is tied to a bare spool it is so slick that anglers have seen the entire spool of line rotate around the bare spool without ever finding purchase. Tape, or rubber gaskets have been used to create that purchase or simply using 10-50 yards of mono also works. This trick eliminates all of that and allows for much quicker spooling.

One of the biggest problems of America’s $21 trillion national debt is that the numbers are so large that few of us can comprehend it. This means that the catastrophic potential of that debt is largely incomprehensible too. While we focus on things like the stock market and unemployment rates, the numbers—and associated interest we owe—keep growing and growing. Anthony Randazzo from Reason joins Connor to explain why the national debt should matter to us and what it portends for the future.

George Bush famously stated he wanted to establish ?the ownership society? in America. His concept specifically included the owning of a home. The American Dream, while defined in 1931 in lofty terms, has been downgraded over time to be equated to home ownership. What a cruel hoax. Home ownership has become a nightmare for many Americans, once the political class hyped it as a tool to remain in power. The feds have been the ?snake oil salesmen? of housing. How did this happen and what?s the fix? In this episode, Bob talks to Reason Foundation?s Anthony Randazzo, who knows all these answers. Should we rename your neighborhood ?Federal Acres?? Perhaps. 910 AM in the SF Bay Area. www.newstalk910.com. If your dwelling is something other than a used appliance carton, you?ll not want to miss this show.

Next, we chat with Anthony Randazzo who is the director of economic research for Reason Foundation. Anthony specializes in housing finance and macroeconomic policy. They’re both braniacs, so we ask them for their thoughts on the economy - and at first blush, it looks bad.
