We'll see more of this

Instapundit notes a story from Atlanta, where taxpayers are suing the city over its past decisions for funding pensions.
In 2002, the city spent about $36 million on pensions. That total is expected to quadruple to $160 million by 2015, according to the report. Mayor Kasim Reed, who took office in January, has said the rising pension costs leave the city to do little else, aside from policing the streets, fighting fires, and providing water and sewer service and trash pick up.
