re: For the NOLA peeps: Has any group whined as much as NOFD in your lifetime?

I think you've been hearing about it for 30 years because the city has been appealing the ruling for that long. Those fireman are still bitching about the same singlular issue that the city won't settle. Like 8 administration's have kept up this fight. The city made promises to stem the flight to other cities and doesn't want to pay. They offer pennies on the dollar, to be paid after most initial fireman will be long dead. The pension is a total other issue. Because they suck at investing money, they don't deserve an unrelated claim that they've sued for and won... A bunch of times? Full didclosure: my dad was a no fireman for a bunch of yrars
