re: #147 Obdicut

There’re gonna be referendums like this all over the country.

I’d like to see the phrasing change, rather than “anti-union” I think the main problem is more “anti-pension”. And not anti-pension in general? Some amounts that are being paid out are stupidly huge. Marjorie who worked the payment window for 35 years in the “Treasurer’s Office” is probably not the problem

Pensions are going to choke out budgets, even Jerry Brown’s gonna have to face it.

We have a contract with the current retirees, it seems wrong to renege on that promise (no matter how bloated it may be, unless it was improperly set up), but looking forward? I think there are limits that can be set.
