Let's be careful not to fault Goss, he's taking advantage of a perfectly legal situation. I have an uncle who retired after 25 years in the Navy and Air Force, taught 20 years at a University, retired again and then taught in the public school system long enough to qualify for yet another pension. More power to him.

Change the system if we don't like it. Yet it's only going to get worse with liberals in charge.

And, don’t forget, depending on the State, Mr. Goss probably paid into the system as well.

Can Goss and your uncle vote?

Yeah, I'm sure they want to change the system.

Tolerance of evil is evil. Evil comes in on little cat's feet sometimes. I do fault Goss and your uncle as well -- what real sympathy would they have for those of us who made the opposite choice, the choice NOT to burden others for the work we do, except as they agree to pay us in that pay period, and not for the next sixty pensionated years.

As a guy who retired eleven years ago on a firefighter pension (course I work two jobs now) I would like to mention that my pension was fully funded on the day I retired and I paid 15% of my salary into the pension every paycheck. The city matched it, so 30% of my total compensation was my pension package. The city ceased paying for my pension on the day I retired, and it is funded by investments made by our pension board, using the funds accrued while I was working.

I know this is not true of all government pension funds, but remember the liberal motto: "Anyone that has more than you probably stole it." If you want to "get the guys" that are getting these pensions, remember that Zero does too. He finds it unacceptable that some people have 401Ks while others have to live off welfare.
