Davebarry109,

You are clearly uniformed by asking Mr. Cushman where he was during negotiations. Union negotiations are made behind closed doors and the public has absolutely no say whatsoever in the process. Furthermore, these pension deals have been written by politicians who know damn well that they will never be able to deliver what was promised. It is done all over the country for one reason and one reason only - to secure votes. Its too bad that the union leadership never attended basic math classes during what little education they received in life. Had they, they would understand that mathematics is not democrat or republican. Mathematics don't lie, politicians do.

To take it one step further, Mr. Cushman and several others attend EVERY budget hearing and every meeting (both of them) when the actuaries come to town. Im sure you know that the public has never been allowed to ask questions of the actuaries and frankly, the majority of the council doesn't even understand the problem.
