Deblasio and Cuomo intentionally did this, in hopes of siphoning off some aid money. They have already raped the pension system dry for illegal immigrant bennifits because money sitting in a pension system cannot be skimmed. You have to have new projects to generate the potential for kickbacks.
So homeless welfare projects and Free College and medical for illegal immigrants is a cash cow for dirty politicians.
Socialism is a wonderful system for corruption, until you run out of other peoples money. When New Yorkers discover the Pension funds are gone there is going to be HELL to pay. Especially when they figure out Cuomo Murdered Granny to get her off of the pension liability side of the equation.
A few million dollars a month is gone on pension payouts cause tens of thousands of pensioners are suddenly dead.
All to cover Cumo and Deblasios crime spree.
but the teachers will still pull down their huge salaries and them and all the state workers will still pull down their fat pensions WHICH ARE NOT TAXED by NY and everyone will be happy....except the poor slobs that need to stay and work for a living and can't afford to pull up stakes...there's a lot of people like that.
