Yup.
20% of LA’s budget goes to pay people who stopped showing up for work a long time ago.[/quote]
I’ve been too busy to check in lately, but just had a moment to stop in and saw this most recent error of yours, Pri. As usual, you seem to take enormous pride in broadcasting your ignorance.
As stated multiple times before, a public employer does NOT pay pension benefits to those who are already retired. The pension costs noted in any given year are for those who are currently employed. These costs are calculated as a percentage of the **current employees’** compensation.
Just needed to correct you, yet again. Maybe someday you’ll decide it’s best to do some fact-checking before you post. That goes for your “invisible friend” gogogosandiego, too. You (and your alter-ego) have a particular knack for consistently getting things wrong.
[Though I’ve been told to stop feeding the troll (you), I couldn’t let this one slide by.]
