Have you considered that the man managed his money well and this is how he chooses to spend it? After all you can’t take it with you.

It would take an amazing money manager to live that level of luxury from a job under 6 figures. He’s a level headed guy, I’m sure he didn’t do anything foolish but really he would have to be a fiscal superman.

One must consider that the employees had a social contract with the State.

No they didn't. What the Legislature giveth the Legislature can taketh away.

All I can say is, thank God I’m a federal retiree and not a state or muncipal retiree. Pensions for the former are in good shape; pensions for the latter are in a world of hurt.

Growing large quantities of weed is the obvious solution to this problem.
