I wonder how the one writer knows how long the employees would be paying into the system before they retired. I don't remember the details, but it is possible for people in the PERS to "buy" credits, thus allowing greater benefits. This whole public employees system need to be looked into and revised. The cash cow (taxpaying public) is milked dry.

What is the motivation behind this proposal? There doesn't seem to be any logical reason to deny this group a retirement benefit afforded other educational employees. Additionally, they would be paying INTO the fund long before withdrawing anything, so the fund would grow. I suspect a hidden agenda.

I have a better idea. Don't include anybody in the public school retirement fund from here on in.

The few of us in Michigan who are non-government workers still working and paying taxes can't afford to pay any more.
