Rescue the Rescuers


This is not a new story. It is happening all around the country, not only in Arizona. Legislators want to cut our (firefighter retirees) pensions, cut our COLA (and we do not get Social Security), which equals to about 1/3 of my income. We did not cause the economic down-turn, but now we are the target. And we are not the only ones...teachers, Police and many other state workers. But, if a legislator serves for 4 years, they get the Medical insurance paid for life. Mine cost me $800 a month. They get a pension which NO ONE can touch. Mine is managed by the Legislature.
Maybe I should run for office.
