Weinberg said the hidden pension liability has allowed local politicians to increase their popularity by spending money on high-profile projects while ignoring the retirement burden.

Polticians have been boosting future retirement benefits for decades to garner union support. The future funding is almost never made - meaning benefits will have to be slashed and the beneficiaries can go pound salt for beilieving and voting for these lib pols.

Cut the politician’s retirements first, namely the ones responsible for these fiscal disasters! They screw everything up and look to taxpayers to financially fix everything with more taxes. Enough! Ptui! And, make it retroactive, go after even the retired ones. Make THEM pay and suffer like the private sector folks have been.!
