Better start maxing out our deferred comp boys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609353726565000072.post-87568894551686709672012-08-27T21:41:24.054-07:002012-08-27T21:41:24.054-07:00During the past 7 years, courtesy of the DROP prog...During the past 7 years, courtesy of the DROP program, fire fighters are retiring with more money than most middle class Americans are able to save during their working life. Fire fighters have used overtime and sick leave sellback to earn well above their normal wages and subsequently increase their pension. Current retirees receive full medical benefits that would cost other Americans $500+/month. And all of this when the PSPRS is underfunded by 40% and unemployment is over 8%.
