Then around 2010 they started devising a plan to reduce pensions, which eventually was shot down by the government in 2015 I believe. They said it was a defined pension and they were not allowed to reduce the payment even though the fund was projected to be bankrupt in 10 to 15 years. There’s a lot more involved in this and that’s just off the top of my head.</blockquote>
