Wait till RWD and TL find out that ALL school custodians make $92 grand a year.

And DMV GED heroes.

And retire at 55

If only!! DMV is where I should have gone!

” Let’s take a miscellaneous employee, a common classification that covers everyone from DMV office staff to local school custodians. Say the employee retires at age 55 after 20 years of service with a final salary of $92,200.”

That’s why we need to think about voting for Tim Donnelly. Look up his Facebook. He is fed up with the damage Brown has done to this state. He’s our guy!

In reply to SeeSaw. Calif. is the greatest certainly in terms of unfunded pension liabilities--$ trillion to be exact. It also has the greatest number of illegals and has the most anti-business climate of any state. Public workers are fine with potholes and unsafe bridges because the money went to their pensions instead of infrastructure.

We need to talk about pensions today. AHaul, you need to get trained like in prison. I am the caboose: wonder what kind of sounds you make?

How about using our energy resources and creating jobs instead of stifling the economy with wind and solar mandates that drive up the cost of electricity? How about legalizing marijuana and empty the jails of non violent offenders and cut our police and prison guard numbers to reflect about 25% of our prisoners, remember most probation violations are pot related because every other drug or alcohol is out of the system in two days. We can make money off the legal pot and save money of the mass incarceration side of the equation. When people are working and making money and taxes are rolling the pension issues gets smaller. We do need to rethink the 50 year retirement age, why can’t police be trained to work in other areas at 50?
