Some serious coin spent on retirees


From the NY Times:

Roughly 3,700 retired public workers in New York are getting pensions of more than $100,000 a year. The New York Times collected this public information from the state’s two pension funds and four of the five city funds. The pension plan for the city's firefighters has yet to provide information, as required under public information laws. Some pension funds said they could not provide figures like job title or final salary; the N.Y.P.D. Pension Fund would not disclose names.

With such a high pension, I'm surprised Shulman still needed a fundraiser to pay her legal bills.

How many pensions are based on salaries that include overtime? That abuse has to stop and it should be retroactive.

What a disgrace for these bastards to get that amount for doing absolutely nothing.

LOL, the cops and firemen are laughing all the way to the bank, and it's perfectly legal.

pass a test and then put your life on the line for 20 years for ungrateful people and then you too can get a "fat" pension.

Claire, you didn't have to take a test or put your life on the line.

Shut up.

Claire doesn't get overtime, cops and firefighters do. My comment was directed at the above comment. So at the risk of lowering the discourse to your standards, you shut up.

No, your comment was directed at the one you pasted in your reply.

i have a feeling that you do it for the pension...not for other people

everyone's life is on the line in this city

And I assume LIRR employees 'put their lives on the line' and as reported in today's Newsday, get 200k pensions because overtime is included in the pensions.

And how much to you contribute toward your benefit package, Anonymous?

Commercial fisherman and cab drivers have more dangerous jobs than cops, consider that too, Anonymous!
