Or is the contribution made to an IRA?

True that. Police and Fire have separate contracts and pay much more into their own accounts, which keeps going up, not the same as general city employees.

You didn’t explain that the
3.75% is only for the general city employees, not TPD. TFD pays even more than than that. You made it sound like TPD and TFD don’t pay enough, when in fact, they pay more than the other cities you mentioned.
