The Public Employees' Retirement Association, Colorado's public-sector pension fund, held the first of eight planned "listening tour" hearings Tuesday night in Denver. Staff presented facts about the fund's current fiscal status to a packed house, and those in attendance - mostly public employees and retirees - were given an opportunity to briefly address PERA's board of trustees. The proceedings were simulcast live on the Internet and Face The State now brings you an archive of the meeting audio.
