The state = taxpayers. And, there ought to be a law to prevent this.
of course. But it;’s been in the constitution since the pension started, i think in the 50s. The unions and the democrats don’t care what it’s doing to the state. I benefit, even under the old formula, and I know how the system is corrupt. You can’t do much about 72 year olds like me, but Brown was in for 8 years and could have changed it for new hires, and younger employees, and did nothing.
