The retirement benefits are what they are. Why wasn't this fixed before it got out of hand? otoh.. No use being outraged over someone Else's fiscal mismanagement of city funds. tell me honestly, you wouldn't accept a 60k a month retirement check? The man jumped thru all the hoops, worked 30 years and crossed his T's and dotted his I’s, did what the city/union asked of him to get that payday. Don't beat a man up because he legally milked the system. At least he didn't embezzle it..

i got on the wrong subject, thought this was the retirement thread where the retired fire chief was getting almost 1m a year at age 50.. Don't begrudge a man his right-full wages. If they could hire street sweepers for 10 bucks an hour don't you think they would? Its a union job and it will dry up as soon as san-fran goes broke.

I don’t blame you for taking them, you did nothing wrong.

But it is a financially unsound system and it is not moral for public employees to live like nobility while workers in the private sector have to pay for their own retirement and also that of the public employee.

The system is going to imblode anyway.

At least he didn't embezzle it..

And he didn't WRITE it!
