I’m thinking Illinois is going to be legalizing them some weed pretty soon, once they get a whiff of the potential revenue.
or cut the pensions
They already retired. This is one reason why the Post Office is forced to pre-pay pensions before people retire. I think all places should have to do this. That way this will never happen. How much do people pay in property taxes now? I know I pay 6600 a year in Maryland so if I would have to pay 13,200 because the stupid government messed up by not being prepared for the retirees, I would be upset with the government big time. I would still be able to handle the increase, but there would be some personal goodies that were cut that is for sure.
Well heck...it didn’t seem satire to me.
if you make less than the highest paid pensioner, your taxes should not be raised.....I don’t want to pay more to maintain a person who makes more than I do.
gubmint, not guvmnt. Get it right!! :-)
Not only are they making more then you, they more then likely retired at age 55 if they were police or fire.
“...but the alternative of cutting back on the benefits we pay to our retirees is unthinkable.”
Why?
