The bankrupt city of San Bernardino filed a plan with the bankruptcy court that aims to help nurse the city back to fiscal health by cutting $26 million out of employee compensation and deferring $35 million in upcoming payments, including $13 million in payments to Calpers for pension credits earned by employees and $3.4 million in payments to holders of the city's pension obligation bonds.
