Cobb County Pension Plan

Citing a $115 million gap in its employee pension fund, Cobb County told workers late Thursday that it wants to alter its pension formula to increase employee contributions and reduce some benefits, among other changes. With about $349 million in assets and about $578 million in obligations, the plan is under-funded by about 40%, one of the worst ratios in the metro area. To meet acceptable standards, it must cut that rate to 20%.
