CalPERS is the main reason our California schools and teachers are so bad now. Teachers don’t want to retire and want to be lifers or are in it for the money and pension spiking. #Corrupt #Greed

Your right.
Don’t forget the COLA of 2-3 percent they get each year. My relative was a teacher and retired with a guaranteed pension of 113k. He is now making well over 125k.
These greedy teachers are breaking the state!!!!

SeeSaw – let me guess, cushy public sector job right? Fireman’s assistant to his associate maybe? 100k+ a year with pension to shuffle their playing cards for them when they can’t be bothered? And you’re arguing to continue that status quo? Shocking.

Let me even go a step further – your union bosses encourage/pay you out for trolling random forums with this trash? Thank god us people who have to actually pay to support this garbage are beginning to wake up and understand that you’re taking a government check, and will do (and vote) how the hand that feeds you tells you to. Even if it is far too late to do anything about it. In few years or so a year a judge looking to retire and make a legendary name for himself is going to tell Calpers to go to hell, and then you’re all screwed. We’re screwed too, but you guys will choke first, and I cant wait to sit back and watch it all come down.

The troughers have to drive over the same bridges as the rest of us. Did you see the “60 Minutes” about crumbling bridges in Pittsburgh?

Retirees in Stockton and Detroit lost their COLAs and health benefits. LOL That’s good enough for me.

I hate to break it to you ECK–our Governor is a pragmatic man. That is why he gets so much done. But, brace yourself–he is a Democrat!

If you know of a better way, bring it on. I worked for a municipality where 99% of the employees are not residents–so there is no danger that any elected council person is going to suffer from a lack of those votes. All negotiated contracts are put forth publicly before approval and agendas must be available to the public several days before a meeting–you cannot say that you did not have a voice.

Puppy hasn’t even gotten a decent dictionary.
