“In 2002, the state legislature further extended benefits to many nonsafety classifications, such as milk and billboard inspectors. More than 15,000 public employees have retired with annual pensions greater than $100,000.”

I’d be willing to bet those are all politicians and politically connected “executive” positions. You should look at the facts before trying to make people think that any run-of-the-mill state worker gets anywhere near that amount.

And it IS obscene for these corrupt state legislators and board members to get that much considering the cushy consulting jobs that have lined up a result of their graft activity while in office.

Kens – I think most households got that letter & you should fill out the form when it arrives. I did work for the Census & it truly is blind & extremely important.

I also enjoy the immigrant waiver on grammar and spelling….and cooking.

Kens- fill it out. The census really does determine local monies and a number of other services. We do it every 10 years. So far they haven’t come to arrest me for being a commie leftist pinko liberal, but since Lech has invited myself and cobble to go on a road trip with him, my back up plan- should the Feds come – would be to have him drop me off in the middle of Death Valley 🙂
