Fred, It is a two way street. You can campaign for the repeal, and I do sympathize with you, just a little. Seems you should also campaign for an end the some of the infamous "double dipping" that can g on with public pensions and also campaign to ending some of the other abuses or overly generous "rule bending" that goes on in the public arena with regard t pensions.

You friend who cannot afford $5/month because he is on SS.

Dip,

Sorry you can't afford the five bucks. I have always argued that every working person deserves a comfortable retirement. I don't know why you think I haven't, as you say, campaigned for pension fairness and full transparency. Any abuses on our pension funds impacts our earned retirement benefit and I've always said so.

Fred, Gladly will pay for a year but prefer to avoid transactions in digital environment (had the ID theft thing happen...once). If you have a PO or some such where I can send a check then write me with it at ibsinc@yahoo.com. Thanks. Brandon F Greene, SIU retiree 2013

I appreciate that Brandon. But having Substack handle the transaction is best for me.
