A lack of a pension for politicians? That’s not a problem anyone should care about.
Assemblymember Corey Jackson, D-Perris, left, talks to Inland GOP Assemblymember Bill Essayli during a June 13 Assembly Judiciary Committee. Assemblymember Corey Jackson, D-Moreno Valley, has proposed what can only be described as a terrible idea: bringing back pensions for legislators.
Yes, because, you know, isn’t it a shame that all of these politicians aren’t able to collect a pension for all of their years running the state into the ground? As part of his proposal, Jackson wants the Legislature to agree: “These individuals are among the state’s most committed public servants, and they should have the opportunity to earn pension credit for their years of service, as is afforded to most other state officials and employees.”Members of the state Legislature receive salaries of $132,703 plus a per diem of $211. That’s well above the median household income in California. It’s plenty generous from the taxpayers of California.
