I guess I don’t really have a problem with good salaries and pensions for police and firefighters, but retiring at 53? Come on! For those of us in the private sector who have our retirement in the markets, there is no way we’re ever going to be able to retire at at even 65 and lots of us are going to work until we drop. I would like to see fire and police chiefs make it until at least 60 before they can retire.
