[quote=pri_dk]From the article:
It makes more sense to give every retired public safety officer a million dollar annuity — it would be money-saving.
I think a clever way to frame the issue would be to put an initiative on the ballot that replaced public-safety pensions with a one-time, million dollar payout at retirement.
In other words, a cop retires at 50, he gets a million dollar check, and no pension.
A million dollars may sound like an outrageous amount.
Except that the pensions they are getting today are worth 2-3 times that much.
So here’s the tagline for the initiative:
A million dollars for our heroes!
Now, who would not want to give our heroes the million they deserve?[/quote]
