Thank you Councilman Merolla for addressing this issue. For years concerned taxpayers brought these outrageous over the top pension and healthcare benefits to Avedisian's attention and Scottie turned deaf ears. Scottie's answer to the problem was to enhanced them.
Lifetime healthcare has to be eliminated. Caps have to be placed on pensions. No pension should exceed the max. social security benefit of $2861 per mo or $34,300 per year. Retirement benefits should be calculated on one's entire working career like social security and not the last few years of employment that increase benefits.
Prescription drug benefit should be stopped immediately. Healthcare co-pays for active employees should be set at 30% for a start. Retired employees should pay 50% on healthcare benefits with a gradual scale to eliminate them entirely in 7 yrs.
It's time city employees start living in the real world.
