There is a free podcast taken from the recent ALI-ABA conference on Retirement, Deferred Compensation, and Welfare Plans of Tax-Exempt and Governmental Employers which you can access here. (Button is on the upper right-hand column in the side-bar.) The podcast discusses the legislative outlook in the benefits arena.
(It is unclear how long the podcast will be offered free so you might want to listen in fairly quickly. Even though the conference was September 4-6, the dynamics of the recent market turmoil would likely impact some of the areas discussed.)
