[Leaning Right]

Lots of stats there...but for me the bottom line is this: No public retiree should collect more than half-pay. That plus social security should be enough. Anything more would warp the system.

And I say that as a public school worker. I know folks who are collecting more in retirement per year than they made in salary per year. Their retirement is more than 100% of their job pay! Crazy.

sweet deal.

collect more in retirement than while working and be exempt from the SS scheme to boot. I sure hope they can also go back to work as a public employee the day after they retire and collect a salary at the same time.
