When they say taxpayers are responsible for generous pensions–that doesn’t mean that taxes are going up. It means lawmakers will divert taxpayer money away from schools and fixing bridges to pensions. In Ill. 20,000 teachers may be fired after the courts rejected pension reform. In Pittsburgh they aren’t even thinking about repairing bridges that could fall any minute (see the “60 Minutes” piece).

In reply to Ulysses Uhaul. They won't mind paying a lot more if their entitled kids want to go to college. Tuition at UC is going up 25% to pay for pensions.

Sales tax increase passed in 2013 for increased police. I let the chain of comments you and others post speak for themselves. They paint a picture of why people are protesting beautifully.

In reply to desmond. Obviously Stockton does not want to pay or does not have the funds to hire and put out a test,interview,background checks, medical, and psych on a pool of candidates. Yes Desmond, they would have to put out a job flyer for all, and all this cost way more money than just to keep on a part time retiree that already knows the job. also Desmond, you have to be a patrol officer for a certain amount of years before you can be an investigator! You know nothing Desmond.

To believe that is ok to be a 70 year old retired cop and still working the street is crazy talk. To oppose an unemployed African American veteran be given the chance to do that part time work is narrow minded at best. I let the your comments stand on their own.
