The size of the pensions aside, I think the point here is whether pensions should be forfeited if a worker is convicted of a misdemeanor or a felony, even if the crime is unrelated to the job for which the person is receiving the pension.

Hate teachers, if you want to. Hate unions, if you want to. To me, this is a very creepy idea. Don't forget how greedy the government got once so-called drug-related property confiscations became "legal," allowing such confiscations without due process!

What about the ex-cop Peterson who murdered his wife? Should he collect his 72K per year pension in prison?
