“Moore said he was as shocked as everyone else when Beck announced his pending retirement.”
When you can fake sincerity, you’ve got it made!
I’ve watched a succession of FF’s rise to becoming chief in our little Fire District a year or two before they can retire (@age 50). Each one of them walks away with huge windfall retirement benes and lifelong healthcare for themselves and their families. If each of them lives to be 80, they will have “consumed” about $10 million each in taxpayer money just on their pension benefits alone!
One day when there just arent enough taxes or govt effectively loses ability to collect there are going to be millions of former gov’t employees learning the hard way what those of us in the private (productive) sector already know....when the money is gone its gone
I almoat kinda look forward to that day and the end to the idea that 20 years working for govt entitles you to other people’s money for the rest of your life
