8 Year Drop

Sounds like you allready drank the Cool Aid..
Brooks is only repeating what he was told by the City .
Hold him accountable ? What can you do to him vote him out?
Until the plan is ON PAPER and fully checked by the more market savvy investors we have working here,
Now is not the time !
If it is saving the city money it WILL be offered again.
The FD turned it down because it was ALL the city wanted to give them.( NO RAISE FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS.)

if it is so good why has the fire dept gone to impass.
it sounds like a trojen horse deal.
the eight % is rumered to be only good for the first 5 years then you are at the mercy of the market
you could lose more then you make after the 5 years, the way things are going.
we need to get more facts and have them in writing before we agree to anything.

Well, if they take away the 8% option, then make sure you have the option of taking it completely out of the market. 0% is better than losing and that way you can choose which years to have it in the market. Whenever you feel it will be a good year you could put it in.

Great we get 3 more years with our over inflated salary command staff. Well there goes the promotions.

None of it will matter when an obama administration decides to seize pension funds. He is talking about seizing 401K accounts and putting them in the social security fund. Argentina just pulled a socialist move like that, they seized pension funds because the gov't needs the money. Socialism is on it's way, hope you're ready. They sneak it in a step at a time and call it liberalism, until it's too late.

You guys are so deluded; making up facts and all. Too much Fox News I am afraid!

Wall Street Journal....

Heard the FD got all 8 with guaranteed 8%...any truth to that?

102-62, read it and weep haters. 8 is great.

Has anyone here ever finished the total five year drop? Commander Golt is the only one I know of that is going to have completed the whole five years soon. Hey if you can stay the course its a great opportunity if your young and have kids and dont know what the hell your going to do after you retire its alot of money. Hell I hope I can make the five lol so does my wife, and maybe, just maybe ill see the eight on the horizon. Life is good in the Pines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice name Devil Dog!
