Jim in Anchorage Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I believe it has been well known for decades that when you are a Erie county Sheriff you spend the last two years of your career at the jail, feet up on the desk 80 hours a week collecting mass overtime and boost your retirement to plus 100K a year life time [at age 55!] And from what I have read they aren't even good at it. Why do they not hire regular jail guards at $30,000 a year to start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 That's a scheme that a lot of civil employees use. retirement pay is based on the last couple years of employment so they look for any opportunity to boost pay. Hence they bilk the system for the rest of their and their spouses life. I am sure this will be overlooked by pBrain as one of the wonderful things the union does and was negotiated in the best interest of the employees. Tax payers be damned. Sad thing is most will move to Florida, getting retirement money tax free and not even helping the WNY economy longterm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 The system is broken and the Unions and their Democrat masters continue to sell out taxpayers. Talking about taxpayers getting sold out. Check out the Ontario Teachers Pension plan. Assets over 100billion. My question is how does a public service outfit able to amass such wealth? Fuggin obscene. Fat ass teachers, glorified baby sitters have it the best of anyone in Canada. For a non productive sector of the work force this is unbelievable. http://www.answers.com/topic/ontario-teachers-pension-plan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario_Teach...9;_Pension_Plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UConn James Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Pensions for prisoner'sNo wonder NY is bankrupt. I find the size of these pension's astounding. Additionally, some argue, if the employee or official is convicted and imprisoned, the pension often goes to their spouse or children. The spouse and children should not be penalized because of the criminal actions of the pensioner, they said. “Why should a family suffer if someone is stealing, and the wife and kid didn’t know?” asked Assemblyman Peter A. Abbate Jr., who heads the Assembly Government Employees Committee. “That is their livelihood,” he said of the family pension. IT'S CALLED "CONSEQUENCES"!!!! Most people who don't live in Oz have to deal with them. "Hey, I can steal from the government and, if I get caught, my sow and brood are still taken care of. Sweet deal!" If I build a house for someone, I don't get paid bonus money for every year it's standing. If the house falls down b/c of shoddy work, I can expect to be sued, rather than still collecting such a bonus. How about Chris Spielman returning his checks to ESPN while he was taking care of his wife during breast cancer? Foreign !@#$ing concept to these people. Instead, "I want more money for work I didn't do!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More power to them for having their own funds. But the dirty secret that nobody on the left wants to talk about is that unions & state pension funds are among the largest money managers around, and they very often invest in companies that are not union shops. Amazing how that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
