Don't use the hard earned pensions of our great city and state workers to fund municipal finances like we've seen implemented in Michigan. These workers, who have worked their whole lives, rely on these funds in their retirement years and deserve them.
Why is this important?
My son has a little 9 month old baby at home with his wife. He gets by on his salary. He counts on his employer to pay in for part of his pension for when he retires. With some cities and states looking to use these pension funds to help run their municipalities, workers like my son will have a very difficult time when they retire. Please do not use pensions as a source of municipal income. Big corporations can handle an extra fee much more easily than the individual working man.
