You must be either a teacher or an unaware of teachers salaries, benefits, perks etc
Teachers pension is calculated at 2% a month for every year they work based on the highest 3 or 5 year period. So let us look at a Plainview teacher with 40 years teaching having made $100,000. They retire with an $85,000 pension that is not subject to state tax which puts the actual value of the pension higher. they also have lifetime medical from what I am told. If that is not a ridiculous pension that we are forced to shoulder on the backs of working class residents then what is excessive??
