Public employees yet again raping the taxpayer. The silver lining of this dark cloud is that CA will finally crash all that more quickly.

Public sector union contracts have been set up to reward showing up for work with all the vacation and “sick time” due at retirement. Sick time should be used only when there is an illness and implies that an employee is allowed to miss a certain number of days with pay without losing their job. If they show up then shouldn’t get compensated for it and contracts need to be fixed for this gross error. It is institutionalized stealing of taxpayer dollars the way the contracts are written.

There needs to be a cap on retirement benefits derived from these final year payouts.

Another retiree, Commander Morris Tabak, clocked out with $425,558 - $173,703 in unused sick, comp and vacation time.

While in private sector America, many have lost everything....even what was left of their crappy medical benefits....

Now that she's [Heather Fong] gone, she's pulling down an annual pension of $229,500 for life.

She's 54 years old, and will be pulling down $114.75 an hour while retired for the rest of her life. Which, with full medical, should be another 25-35 years.

I can't wait to watch Californiwhackistan implode...
