Why is it that so many people are concerned with the police and fire department pensions and are not concerned with the outlandish pensions and perks that our overpaid and underworked politicians get?

Cut spending by starting with them. At least the police and firefighters do something to earn their wages and pensions. All I see the politicians do is find ways to line their own pockets and work on their special projects.

They need to start doing for us lowly constituents instead of finding ways to spend our money.

All those in favor say “aye.”
