A question for the eight major Ohio newspapers that are trashing pensions

Perspective on public pensions
The Beacon Journal recently published articles concerning public employee pensions. I would like to address the issue and offer some perspective.
State Sen. Jon Husted stated that he had backed a bill to mandate that state pension funds divest themselves of all investments tied to Iran to protect our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. How would hurting my pension help the troops?
I have a question for the eight major Ohio newspapers that are trying to destroy the pensions of over 900,000 retirees and employees and the millions who depend on those employees: How would you feel if all of the public employees and retirees and their families suddenly canceled their subscriptions?
