"Capped" refers to the 2.99%...NOT the number of years multiplier. In the new system the most you can earn under the non-Corbett adjusted formula is 90% no more. Under the old system you could conceivably have 40 years of service at 2.99% per year or 119.6%. For such an educated fellow you sure are dense.— January 27, 2009 3:11 p.m.

In comment #568 he said 55 not 50.— January 27, 2009 3:06 p.m.

Hopefully hiring someone to assassinate another is illegal in Colorado too. I'd NEVER even consider it. In his case, euthanasia would be more appropriate so he'd stop worrying about JF and me.— January 27, 2009 3:03 p.m.

Wrong again Mr. Vegas. In typical spin you omit a portion of the formula to suit your purposes. You are correct the previous formulas had a sliding scale beginning at 2.5% @ age 50 and going up to 2.9999% @55. You forgot to mention the years of service multiplier and starting age factors with no cap. In comment 568 above, JF says the multiplier for age 55 changed from 2.9999% to 3.0 Yet in comment #578 above you wrote: "Not true. The pensions NEVER paid 2.99999% before the spiking began (no where), which was AFTER the prison guards started this nonsense in 1998. Please prove me wrong." I proved you wrong with the documents in the muni code which was effective in 1997. So as usual, we shine the ever present light of truth, revealing, with documented evidence, that you are a purveyor of misinformtion, a troll who, as Don so eloqently defined, is one who posts inflammatory or inaccurate information just go get others excited.— January 27, 2009 2:01 p.m.

Johnny's silence is deafening. A tacit confession. It has been more than two hours since your plea to defend himself and not a peep. I kinda miss him already. But a break from his error filled rhetoric is nice too.— January 27, 2009 10:47 a.m.

My vote... he's a troll.— January 27, 2009 7:25 a.m.
