Read in the Chi. Trib. that the city spends 80% of it's income on pensions, retirement costs & leave pay!!

Where does that leave all those poor illegals?
Another 80% goes to them remember democrat run cities math and budgets do not count blank checks and no accountability
Last I heard kalifornia is many billions in debt
And the politicians and union bosses have their thumb in the pie.
They(the common people who voted in the horrible policies!) are trying their best to get all the illegals kicked out of their state. Sucks when those chickens come home to roost I guess!
Just sayin'
Fed money via biden's side hustle from getting money from terrorists and enemy states.
Pensions for union public safety workers are very high. I have a high school buddy who worked as a firefighter/paramedic in Clayton County, the south side of Atlanta. Union job. He retired at age 55 with 100 percent pension. His pension is $65,000 a year. In private industry you'd be lucky to get 33 percent of your pay in a pension.
In other places government union pensions are much higher. In Vallejo, California the average firefighter pension is $101,000 a year.
allen griggs - They're extra special in Vallejo. I forget LA or there abouts life guards make like $500K? Now that's gonna be a Bay Watch retirement.
I have a brother that is a retired non union fireman.His pension is $5000. a month.
Probably, the other 20% goes towards freebees for illegals.
