We need some SERIOUS pension and health care benefit reform for state Government workers. Why can’t they just all have standard IRA’s and 401k’s that they just contribute out of their own salary just like people in the private sector ? And that’s all the retirement they get, what they contribute, just like the private sector. Why should they get these fat retirement pensions and health care for life on the backs of the tax payers when the majority of the population in the private sector doesn’t get that? People should be marching in the streets of Sacramento for pension reform!
Interesting how Arnold tried but could not get the state legislators to pass Gov. worker pension reform…classic American politics, instead of making the hard decisions to fix things, they do what they have to do to get re-elected. One of the things Arnold tried to do was limit the campaign donations of some state union organization, which he failed to do. Lot’s of crooked activity protecting the status quo of the state employees.
I love that comment from the mayor where San Jose needs to literally go down to ONE city worker managing the whole city just so they can pay the bloated retirement pensions of retired city workers.
Did you see the state prison psychiatrist is making $850,000 a year???
