Pssst! Howd'ya Like to Retire with $300,000 a Year of Taxpayer Moolah
How overall misleading to post a list of city employees that are all unclassified management level positions. They are not the classified employees - the ones you all depend on to take care of city services. They do not get anything even close to those kinds of figures - that are being used as a scapegoat to pass off policies that will simply give the elected officials free rein to give themselves whatever they want. This so-called pension "reform" will do away with the current policies that include checks and balances. If they want to stop handing out excessive retirement payments, try simply looking at the range of payments for unclassified positions (retired and currently employed) and creating appropriate guidelines to eliminate the Mayor and other officials approving excessive salaries and retirement benefits for these positions. Your everyday classified employees are entitled to a reasonable retirement amount and that's all they get. If you want to know the truth, it's easy to get a list of what the average retiree makes. As usual, politicians have no problem using scapegoats to accomplish their true agenda.... promoting their careers and protecting their interests. All at the expense of what used to be a dynamic organization with public servants that actually cared. Some day in the not too distant future you will call the city for something and no one will care because they won't be working for you. They will all be privately contracted companies that will get contracts because they know the right people. Wake up people.— May 24, 2012 5:14 p.m.
