why have i not heard anyone on here blasting Sturla for his latest PSA oops i mean campaign ad with all the old people saying "i got mine", which reminds me how I am still getting ZERO property tax relief but a few select senior citizens are getting theirs and of course Sturla begs everyone to call his office and let them cut through all of the red tape. People on here still complain about the Boyd PSA but nothing about $turla

Why doesn't Armstrong just say the taypayer, instead of the state? He makes it sould like the "state" has unlimited amounts of money to contribute. Where does he think that money comes from.

We need to get these people out of public service (if you want to call it that). I think it's public dis-service.

I like Boyd's proposal. I like the cut-off idea to make it a defined contribution and not defined benefit. Why shouldn't they be like the rest of us and have the same benefits.

I still have a problem with the legislative body receiving any kind of pension. I think it is a crime, when they receive as much monthly benefit for serving one term as it would take me working 30 years+ to receive.

We need a PA revolution! Who wants to join me?

Strula is a Democrat .... that kind of garbage is expected, tolerated and rewarded by his core constituents.

Yeah, big boy. You'd probably give me only five seconds to get my license out of my wallet before you would zap me up so much that I would appear to be a lighted Christmas decoration.

That was a good reply there, RR. Getting tasered doesn't hurt that much. Your eyeballs do light up though.
