Far too many cops and firemen earning in excess of $100,000 a year in pension checks, way beyond what is necessary to support yourself in retirement. There are lots of classifications getting $100,000 to $500,000 pensions - that's what should be cut. A lot of pensioners are living off pensions first received decades ago that are tiny compared to what is doled out now - leave them alone, it's hard living on $15,000 to $20,000 a year. Go after the big earners who sometimes receive more in retirement than what their standard salary was.
Yes. I never understood why their wasn't some sort of cap on retirement pay. A maximum of 2/3 of your working pay would seem reasonable.
