Grand Rapids Pension Tracker

(last updated 8/31/2010)

The above chart tracks the combined balances of the City of Grand Rapids’ two pension systems (Police and General). The left axis tracks the total value of the pensions and the right axis tracks the S&P 500 stock index.

Please note that the chart is quarterly before 2009 as this is the time period in which the city has published its pension balances. After that date, they have been publishing them on a monthly basis.

For more information on the imminent implosion of the city’s finances due to the unsustainable pension plans, see the following Grand Rapids Pundit posts:
