Police and Firefighters Pensions are under fire. The state is attempting to take away some of our retirement benefits after giving 25 years of service. Police and Firefighters put their lives on the line each day they go on shift, leaving their families at home. Missing Birthdays, Holidays and other special events to protect the citizens. The least the state legislators can do is honor their current agreement and make changes to new employees to rectify this situation.

The State of California should form a state-run bank for the purpose of providing the public with an option of a financial institution that is responsive to public interest and dedicated to protecting the public from predatory practices, exorbitant fees, and reckless speculation with the depositors' money.

South Carolina’s new law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls was blocked by the U.S. Justice Department, which said it would “significantly” burden non-white voters.
