I don't care how much firefighters in the district make, as long as there is no long term liability in the pension for taxpayers and the taxes levied on the citizens are reasonable when compared to the services they receive.
Bob, you don't seem very concerned about the state of the trust fund that will pay your benefits, why is that? Is this not something you should concern yourself with?
Our system is in its infancy and as time progress it is my hope that it matures and as I am not a numbers guy I leave it for those who have the responsibility to do it. I will say this, it disappointed me that while Buzz was on the Pension Board he had some what I believe were some valid questions as to the plan but as he decided to bail, I think it will be more difficult for those questions to be answered. What I do know of the plan is there are some very intelligent folks that have a fudiciary responsibility to the plan, NOT THE UNION. I feel the plan administrators who the Pension Board pay have a responsibility to the plan and the State has a certain amount of oversight, so to say I am concerned at this point no, but was hoping personally that Buzz would have stayed to get the answer to some questions he had.
