Government Pensions and Benefits
Our study showed the local government union members have more than double the pension and health benefits of the taxpayers that support them. This is both unfair and unsustainable.
I recommend structural changes to the way we provide pensions and benefits to our government workers. The changes will bring the public and private sector into alignment and enable us to provide quality government services without leaving a massive liability to our children.
Our Taxpayer Budget study details recommended changes to our pension and benefit programs for civil servants. As Mayor, I will not accept a pension because I think elected officials should not make a career out of public service.
