Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 3022524"] There’s some relatively fair and simple solutions to the Pension problem, if you left corrupt CT politics out of the room: 1) Use the 10 highest years of salary , rather than the 3 highest years of compensation 2) Remove overtime from the formula 3) Cap pensions at $75,000. This is twice the average. 4). Add a 3% employee pension contribution surcharge 5) Mandate an additional $1 billion a year to go to pension until the 36% funding of the pension goes to at least 80% of fully funded. 6) Make some marginal age changes to retirement age pension eligibility. A couple of years makes a significant difference. 7) Impose the CT state income tax on pension recipients who move out of state. These steps would actually help most state employees, since currently their pensions are only 36% funded. [/QUOTE]
