[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 3280913, member: 23"] Credit where it’s due? [ATTACH=full]144880[/ATTACH] Would you walk into there for a living? I did for it twenty eight years. Because of it I now have heart problems, lung problems, back problems, and who knows what else. When we signed up for this job, we were promised a retirement that at the time we were told would increase as the cost of living increased. I had about ten years on the job when the legislature says, “change of plans guys, no more cost of living increases, you get what we decide to give you”. As said earlier, I retired in 2007 with a monthly retirement check that equals about half of what I was paid before I retired. No pay raises since. Cost of living has gone up, but our retirement pay has not. We thought we would get a little bit to help our needs, but the legislature shut it down and gave themselves a raise. Am I bitter about it. YES! If our “representatives” can’t take care of us, why should we take care of them? Their jobs depend on our votes and they frequently forget that. [/QUOTE]
