"I planned my retirement around that medical insurance, and now they pull the rug out from under us."

Welcome to the club, bro--we've been saving seats for you guys for a few years now.

Al the while we capt saying you cant afford to offer that, they kept on hiring and offering.

Take the needed money from the DNC to make good on the retirements.

Sadly the Dems have always know that the FED will cover the ridiculous DNC spending done here in CA.

It begins. More will follow.

Look for govt pension plans to be totally redone and greatly reduced. It’s what is killing many many cities, huge employee pensions that employees hardly have to put anything into, if at all.

Declaring bankruptcy is the only way cities can legally change a govt pension plan.

From the article...Before the vote, retired police Officer Nicholas Huerta, 57, summed up the feelings of his fellow retirees and said he won't be able to afford his medical insurance if the city reduces its $1,500 monthly contribution.

What kind of insurance costs $1,500 a month? I've got a great plan and the cost for my wife and I is $750.00 a month.

Need some help here, what am I missing on this one.

This is the case all over the country. City after city, every dime that comes in goes to support retired employees. And they are not the bad guys. The bad buys made the promises and didn’t fund them and they are long gone.

So what do you do? God knows but of the retirees aren’t willing to take less they are going to end up with nothing.

All U.S. cities need conservatism in them, very badly!

There was a list floating around of about 21 cities watching how it went with Stockton under the new rules passed by the legislature that makes a waiting period of some sort. This could very well be just the tip of the iceberg.
