Lawmakers recently approved a package of public-sector pension reforms that raise the retirement age, set new eligibility requirements and force some public employees to kick in more cash. Monday on the Sound of Ideas, we'll look at how Ohio's plans stack up against those in other states. Will the changes be enough to keep Ohio's plans healthy? And we'll look at how public employee pensions compare with those in the private sector. Host Mike McIntyre kicks off the conversation Monday at 9.
