I was pretty pleased Brown got donations to do that CJ.  Good for him, and guess it shows what can be done when someone isn't "too special" to get their hands dirty actually doing the job of being the mayor huh?

Hi Pat glad to oblige. The community is getting screwed on the remnants of the Peyton, Webb reign and someone has the audacity to blame those that are actually active in trying to save the working mans tax dollar.

the Bills mentioned above should include 401 also because it is going to hurt us too.

the only reason they weren't passed yet as planned by the "powers that were" while they were in office is because the City is awaiting approval from the State. Unfortunately the public comment period for all of them are over.

In yesterdays Finance Comm. meeting Mr. Clark said he would mention to Mr. Joost about opening it up one more time for at least 400. It would help if anyone with a phone or computer could apply some pressure to do would be helpful.   

 

Ya'll see JROTC was reinstated at all 4 high schools? :)

Thank you CJ for your assessment.  I value your opinion on this very much since you spend so much time at city hall interacting with these folks!

Well Sir outside of yourself just what exactly have you done for us lately, or ever for that matter?

Instead of being critical why not join us in finding a way to help. See Sir if you are not part of the solution, you Sir are part of the problem.

So just jump in anywhere and let us know what you can instead of what you wont do.

No Capt. I did not sell my soul to anyone.  My city councilman is Yarborough and I did every thing I could to help him get re-elected including doing his weekly walk call list and walking every Saturday before and after the primary!  Many other people broke their necks helping some of the new people that replaced some of the really bad folks on city council, but we could have used more help (what were you doing?).  Mr. Yoost is not my city councilman and if he were, I probably would have known enough about him to know he should not be elected.  I don't know what is wrong with people that have to paint every one with the same paint brush?  Shame on you for being so condescending when some of us have done nothing but work for over 3 years to try to slow things down or stop them altogether.  Billie for one hasn't skipped a beat in more than 3 years and many other people who are regularly on this site have been at it in one way or another for just as long!!

Then good luck with those who you voted for. As for me I will again vote for good conservative American efforts. as its not what is right all the time but what is left before it is to late.

Capt. We in Mandarin fired our rep. Joost ran unopposed, Twice! Jones was unopposed, Clark barely won, Redman does ok, Reggie Brown tries very hard, Lee I believe lets down a lot of people especially her constituents.

Crescimbeni, Bishop and Yarborough are the strongest advocates this City has, and so far Mayor Brown has surpassed self serving Peyton in leadership Peyton could only dream of

So yes OUR souls are just fine

the last official data is as of 2008 - the average PFPF retiree pension then was $45,952/ year.   The average pension then for a participant in the DROP was $49,792/yr.   Given COLA's and pay raises since 2008, I estimate that the average PFPF retiree pension is now about $50,000 per year.   Historically, PFPF members on average retired at age 48 or 49.  (This is based on actuarial data for 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008.)    No more recent data that has been publicized as the PFPF only does actuarial valuations every 3 years.   The next one should issue in spring 2012, for fiscal 2011.  

 The average new retiree at 49 will be getting over $100 K per year when he/she reaches 75
