re: BRPD has a great retirement benefit.

These types of ridiculous benefits are why local and state governments are going broke. We have the same issues here, except it's 20 years, not 25.

So a cop here can retire in his early 40's and draw a paycheck for life. Should have to work 30 years for those benefits.

These retirement plans need to change to more of a 401K type plan than a pension at all levels of government.
