Emma is clearly an Anti-LEO Pizza Boy and Jackboot Porter acolyte. They simply can’t comprehend people who want to work for a living and stay active in their life even after retirement. They believe people should be put down at the age of 65, and the SS, Medicaid, and Medicare funds distributed to the illegal aliens and lazy weedhead progressive gamers.
Thei is the Decline of America that some folks talk about… and it’s by design.
Emma – anyone who “double dips” has EARNED their retirement. It’s theirs. If they choose to take a job after retirement, that’s good for them and it’s good for their employer.
The retirement will be paid once the person retires. The salary for the position they take will be paid regardless of who takes the position.
Not sure I understand your concerns other than envy and your lack of critical thinking skills.

good example of the Curtis Richardson double dip pension culture that has to go. executive pay is out of control and it needs to stop with a changing of the guard in city management
Edward — I spent much of my career on and off college campuses and working with the upper level PhD staff in many of the sciences. I don’t have one, but it was clear to me that those at the top are a different breed than the wannabes. Without exception, the leading physicists, mathematicians, etc. would have me call them by their first name from our initial introduction. The didn’t need to be called “doctor” to know their position and worth. One of the lessons that I took from that is people that insist on being called “doctor” are simply members of a club. They’re not the best, they’re not leaders, and they’re not decision makers. But being called “doctor” masks their shortcomings and makes them feel important.
@Emma- A majority of the legislature, state workers, and brass law enforcement have retired and returned to the job. This has gone on for years. What is your point? Lawrence Revell is an Outstanding Police Chief who is doing an incredible job with what he has to work with, a City Commission that is less than supportive. If you want change within the city, Vote Out Porter and Matlow!
Did you know Lawrence Revell actually retired? he is getting paid a pension with full benefits on top of a full level executive salary. City Hall needs change not more of the same
Dr. (cough) Jill should be indicted for Elder Abuse and Exploitation of the Elderly. She is now – and always has been – fully aware of Joe’s advancing Dementia. But her lust for power and life on the taxpayer’s dime overrides her love of Joe and our Country.
Joe’s Advisers (Handlers) are NOT the ones to blame for Joes flop in Thursday’s debate. Joes Mental State and Jill are to Blame. Jill should not have allowed him to run again.
Tallahassee needs to Defund the Progressives. They’re all Nuts! Vote Out Porter and Matlow Now!
