We’re really off in the twilight zone now; I for one am sick/tired of subsidizing ridiculous govt worker (total) compensation.

Govt workers are mandated to contribute 3% to their pensions, but are given a 4% out-of-cycle raise for their troubles.

Cities in California aren’t strapped because they don’t take in enough prop 13 or other tax money (there are ways around prop 13 – bonds, fees, etc…) – they are strapped because a librarian in San Diego is getting paid $225,000 for life (and were not even talking about med benefits, etc…).

California is closing in on $700 billion in unfunded pension liabilities for govt workers – don’t be surprised if you catch one of Jerry’s kids digging in your sofa for loose change.

They want every last penny for their wealth redistribution agenda.
