Let me define "political pals"--in common language, that is the unions.
"Fresno County's rocky finances have taken another blow with the announcement that the county pension plan will need a cash infusion of $34 million. That means the cost of Fresno County's overly generous pension plan is expected to double over a four-year period.
While the county's financial problems in other areas can be blamed on the economic slump, the pension problem is a self-inflicted wound by various members of the Board of Supervisors and other county officials. County leaders should have been calculating the long-term costs of the pension program when they were handing out goodies to their political pals."
This is another example of unions killing government, and harming honest people.
What do you think? Double pension costs, corruption, politics--time to limit government.
