Editor,
Please contact your state representatives to object to Assembly Bill 569. This bill would undo the pension reform legislation from 2012 that reined in high pension costs that bankrupted some cities. It only applies to public employees. The author and the Teamsters say these workers do not have sufficient pension benefits to offset California’s high cost of living.
I am a retired union member myself and am lucky enough to have a pension. I wish everyone had a pension and I wish that California was more affordable. However, to single out one classification of employees (and one of the few who are lucky enough to have a pension at all), is not right. It is the taxpayers who will fund this and suffer through the cuts to services that may result from increased pension costs.
Here’s how to find your representative: findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov.
Thank you to the Daily Journal for bringing this to my attention.

So many pensioners move out of state when they retire. Not in favor of increasing benefits. The State should add a fee or tax to benefits that are paid to recipients who move out of state.
