Nice little scam they have going there.
Here in New York, the typical “scam” for Police and Sheriff is to have the guys nearing retirement work maximum overtime, while giving the newbies fewer hours - thus increasing their last two year’s average pay, for much higher pension calculation purposes.
Why, there ought to be a law...
My estimate is that most police departments in most municipalities has some form of a pension spiking scam.
No wonder these pension plans are going bankrupt.
