Message: From GoLocalProv by Stephen Beale, GoLocalProv News Contributor: More than a quarter of all local tax collections in Rhode Island are owed to public retiree benefits, with the tab coming out to about half of all the tax revenue in five of the most fiscally troubled cities. “We’re on a collision course—a fiscal collision course,” said Gary Sasse, former director of the Department of Administration. “If taxpayers think the tax burden in local communities is already high, this data shows we are headed for more foreclosures, more people leaving and just more taxpayers getting into their own debt because the burden will only grow unless we can reverse these soaring pension obligations,” said Harriet Lloyd, executive director of the Rhode Island Statewide Coalition. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/pension-taxes
