The average New York State pension is under $20K a year. No kidding.
Really not much meat on the bone to cut away from the average worker.
There are people who have scammed the system, (crooked lawyers,and bureaucrats) and make the rest of us look bad.
THAT crap has to stop immediately.
BTW, The NYS Retirement system is well over 100% funded, and will continue to be in great shape indefinitely.
