Was the head librarian who retired with the huge pension a member of the union? If so, the criticism is justified. I have the impression, however, that many of these pension horror stories are based on executives in the public sector who get these perks, not on the rank and file workers who are in the unions. That was certainly the case of the City Manager and his cronies who were looting the town of Bell. Am I wrong?

Will the last taxpayer leaving this once great state please turn out the light at the end of the tunnel??

But that’s what you get when you have the wacko wing of one party running the state. The other party shares the blame too for continuing to be irrelevant.

Unfortunately, the children & grandchildren will bear the burdens. California will need $ from feds too, so all who pay taxes will bear the burden. State & Federal workers have no money to pay taxes, without first receiving $ from the private sector. Many in the private sector,including doctors who are small business persons, have no retirement. Fight to change the forthcoming health care bill, because it costs the average American Doc, $147,+++. per year, JUST TO RUN THE BUSINESS. There are only 10% med students entering school compared to the # of docs retiring. There will be rationing–if the HC Bill passes. Oh, we need a new wine, BYE NANCY, NOW WHINE!

Quoting Charles Sainte Claire ….”Persons who work for the public do exactly that. They take care of the public interest. ”

Let me ask you a question……

The Former Head Librarian of San Diego retired with an annual pension of $227,249 vs the annual salary for that position of $139,680.

Did this employee “take care of the public interest” …. or their OWN interests.

The STRUCTURE of the system is defective to allow ANY employees to “work the system” to such advantage. Neither the employees nor the politicians who (effectively) run it can be trusted. That’s why the Defined Benefit system need to be dumped and replaced with a Defined Contribution Plan….. and for CURRENT as well as NEW employees.

Tough Love
No it is not all about me. It is all about reality.
Persons who work for the public do exactly that. They take care of the public interest. I did exactly that for 40 years. I will probably stay in California. I love this State. I have seen you here and there on many public forums. I performed my job well, all over this State. I am quite proud of my work. As I have said before, I took my career with true responsibility. Your dollars were safe with me as a contract administrator. Now I am retired. And I think I deserve it.

Hello there ToughLove and if course also Fake OCO, also known as Rex the Wounderdog.

Go ahead and lay off and cut pay by 25%. And then privatize everything. You will get what you deserve. Trillion dollar bailouts. THAT is what the greedy private sector will give you.

Good luck with it.

==========================

hahahahahaa

The sky is falling………..the sky is falling.

BTW, who is Rex?? 🙂
