In NYS, a cousin was a police officer earning $40,000 a year. At age 50, he worked so much overtime his final year, he retired with a state pension of $89,000. State pensions are graft for the unions.

I know some city workers, newly hired and old timers, new hirees come in on new tiers These new tiers enacted do not allow for the padding in the last few years of retirement as in the past. It is based now on your yearly salary at retirement, overtime not included. So the correction is in as far as I can see. Not sure if this relates to police and fire though. could be individual contract negotiation agreements

My brother retired last year (captain), he is 50. He makes 9k a month after paying taxes and healthcare. How is that sustainable? He retired from Las Vegas Metro, they are going to be in a world of hurt.

Oldest trick in the book, it is allowable fraud and abuse.
