#2 She worked for the county for 40 years and that's what her contract obligates the county to pay her. You want the best, you have to pay for them - and I'm sure Alameda will have no trouble making her payments, having been blessed with her expert administration for so many years.

#3 There's a simple and easy solution, tax all former democrat officials at 95% on their retirements, after all, they need to pay their fair share too.

#4 That's silly - they need others to pay their 'fair' share.

#5 States need to alter their constitutions to cap retirement, to include 'other' compensations, of all state personnel and officials to no higher than the average income of the working taxpayers of the state. That'll end a lot of this gaming the system.

#6 P2K, or do like the military does: retirement is 50-75% of your base pay.

#7 States need to alter their constitutions to cap retirement, to include 'other' compensations, of all state personnel and officials to no higher than the average income of the working taxpayers of the state.

That can be double-edged. For example, San Bernardino, which is facing bankruptcy, had to give its police force a raise (totalling $1 million), because the city charter requires it to set pay as the average of 10 similarly sized cities. Failure to do so would mean being overruled by courts.
