The regular pension fund has $344 million, the highest it has ever been The OPEB has $30 million and is 86% funded. <br /><br />I was there for the story, not lunch. I like to keep up with the retirees and hear their concerns. I have a dairy allergy and can't eat the food.

Most County employees are clerks in the bottom 25% of the salary bracket. At Gracedale, laundry workers and aides make up a large number of the lowest salaries paid. Their pensions are earned after many years of low wages and their pensions are calculated on those low earnings. You are right Bernie, the janitors, parks employees, Gracedale employees, clerks, etc make up the greatest number of county employees with menial pensions that are usually subsidized by food stamps and other government programs. The County should be ashamed for the way they treat their employees in their old age.<br />P.S. My pension is less than one thousand dollars a month and my social security is even less than that, and that's after 28 years of service.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-17324365248292245472016-05-12T09:46:31.043-04:002016-05-12T09:46:31.043-04:004:11, They are pensions based on long years of ser...4:11, They are pensions based on long years of service and well-earned.
