San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed is spearheading a ballot initiative to reform the state's retirement benefits system. KQED NEWSROOM's Thuy Vu speaks with the mayor about his proposal would allow public agencies to negotiate reduced pensions for future work while preserving pensions already earned. Opponents of the measure, including other California mayors and labor unions, see the move as an attack on the retirement security of police, firefighters and other public workers.
