Well, kudos to the Press Democrat for shedding some light on the self-serving politicians securing obnoxious pensions and benefits for themselves. As I blogged over and over again -- the goal of all politicians is to climb the ladder of this insane system, surround themselves with fuzzy department math and accounting methods that make sense to none to keep us all from trying to figure it all out. All politicians need to do is to make you believe they are serving you. Bullshit. Listening to you is a minor inconvenience they must endure to reach that $200,000+ per year pension. Then they have the audacity to tell us that the county is broke while they slash library hours and rank-and-file hours. Remember all of this when they want to raise taxes and cut services.
If we keep digging we will discover the credit cards that pay for housing mistresses and dinners. At the very least, some of them will want to reimburse for the personal expenses and use the company card to launder money so the wife does not find out. Most of them don't even bother. Accounting heads look the other direction. Also think about that when they toss election literature on your doorstep featuring themselves with their kids, dog, spouse and oak tree in the background touting family values. Gag me.
Will the public finally get pissed? I sure hope so. I don't begrudge anybody a decent retirement. We all should have one. This is just sheer greed and power not being used for the common good.
