I say - KILL THE DAMN PENSION!!
Believe me .. the only pension should be a 401K - much safer - and a whole lot cheaper for the city.
Must be nice to be a government employee. My pension plan was frozen.
That's the ticket...remember the steel industry? NOBODY got their pensions...it's too bad, but those pensions are obscene by any standard. CUT THE PENSIONS...NOW...why should people who work for city government make so much freakin money. I become furious just thinking about it.
BUMP!
It's the pensions, stupid.
