I am not sure what to do. First it is pretty obvious in may cases lower level city, county and state workers across the USA are over paid and under worked and get over the top benefit packages. California where I came from and knew a good handful of such workers is a glaring example. On the other hand even though they were over paid and under worked it isn't fair to cut a promised retirement package once a person is already retired. How about cutting such workers pay and benefits to match similar private sector jobs and borrowing against future savings to fund pensions?
Don't give me that crap about the needing to pay more to attract better workers. I knew people at Cal Trans that used to brag about how little they worked and they are visible for all to see. Typical was 3 guys standing around while one guy was filling a pot hole with a shovel.
