This shouldn’t shock anyone as this is happening at all levels of government from city, county and state level governments and you wonder why this state is going broke. It’s time for everyone to wake up as we are being fleeced to pay for a bloated government while services are being cut and taxes are being raised. The situation will only get worse, because we now have to pay for these same individuals retirement.
