In Georgia, state employee pensions are taxed and we pay into SS.

Hopefully their salaries are more competitive with private sector's if that's the case.

I work for a state agency, and I agree that the pensions payments should be taxed just like any other citizen's.

As should Louisiana employees but they do not. Now we have HUGE unfunded pension liabilities because our plans are rich enough to cover what would normally be social security AND because we let retirees retire much earlier than they would under SS.

As do as I, in Texas.

Is not like I didn't contribute to my retirement while employed and my retirement is taxed. Also paid for any Social Security benefits I might realize.

My conscience is real screaming clear...

I am a federal retiree and my wife is a State retiree, here in Florida, we pay taxes and paid SS. And of course pay taxes on our retirement incomes.
