I bet most of the pension changes are probably for NYPD members.

The NYPD pension provides retirement benefits based on years of service, salary history, and plan type, with average full-career retiree pensions exceeding $100,000 annually

Holy fuck

They get a over $100k USD pension, wtf.

Well, they need that to stop them being corrupt.

I mean, it hasn't worked so far, but it might.

That should be a normal thing not a crazy thing.
