Pension perks

My story on the odd, some would say unfair, way that state legislators calculate their retirement benefits.

Does seem a bit contradictory at a time when they are preparing to cut back benefits for public employees.

I have to say that Kasha Kelley, who decided not to join KPERS when she was elected, deserves credit sacrificing that perk. The decision might be harder for someone of lessor means, however.

Here is Eagle editorial about the perks.
