No disagreement there, CAR…but the guy from the town Bell getting the 650k/year pension for life is sick.

Too bad every city/county/state official is in on it to again, “get their share” to ever change or fix this issue.

I have no doubt that they would rather all see the city/state collapse, then they resign (like in Bell) before giving back any of their pension money.

If the federal government can even discuss changing social security, raising the retirement age, etc…they should be able to renegotiate pension benefits if the money is simply not there.

Oh wait, they can simply raise sales tax, property tax, call it a car licensing fee and pad their pension further…

Damn, should’ve taken a government/city/state/county job. (oops, a slip there of me wanting to “get mine too”).
