More than 365,000 Ore- gonians are in the Public Employees Retirement Sys- tem, which pays about $310 million in pensions every month. The long-criticized sys- tem is facing $25.3 billion in unfunded retirement obli- gations, making it a peren- nial point of contention in the Legislature and on the cam- paign trail.
