Reply to comment by moderndukes in Baltimore City Board of Ethics says new pension bill presents conflict of interest by contra_account
Well that makes sense right? Otherwise you'd basically just remove pensions altogether

I personally don't think that serving 8 years in a single city elected office entitles you to a lifelong pension. Get rid of it all together.

For comparison, state employees have to serve 10 years to get a pension and it's not worth very much with only 10 years.

What do you mean by lifelong pension? Doesn’t the payout not happen until they are like 60 or something?

That's not really correct. The actual 8 year limit isn't a lifetime limit. It's limited to 8 years in any 12 year period. So do 8 years, fuck off and do some charity work for 4 years, then come back for another term as an official to get that pension if you really want it.

Well, it's not easy at all when you're a corrupt scumbag like every Baltimore politician proves to be time after time. "Maybe the next one will be better" - Idiot Baltimore voters
