Well it looks like the legislature is doing it again. They offered a tax cut to those households that earn $100,000 or less dangling a carrot to household making more but not really digging into the meat of the property tax reform last week. Is the 20% savings sustainable? That's the big question, that and how are they going to sustain it? Frankly, messing with state worker pensions when some legislators are double dipping into the state pension and health care fund themselves is bad business practice. Why don't the current batch of the legislators have one pension and health care plan regardless of the number of state jobs? Compensation from the second job makes the purchase of extra healthcare/retirement coverage worker affordable and it need not involve the state. Instead these legislators are going to "reform" the benefits for workers with one state job. Just goes to show the real meat of reform is still not on the table and may not ever be until citizens reformers can get deal with double dipping legislators.
