KTC -
"Stockton argued that it must make its pension contributions for public employees before its creditors are paid the entire amount they are owned."
They may "argue" that, but in a bankruptcy - seldom are any creditors "paid the entire amount they are owned."
I side with the judge's ruling - and hope it holds up. Also, maybe throw Templeton a small bone (couple mil). It's not all unsecured. KTC may like the golf courses.
