Ed, isn’t it about time we did something about these retirements, especially the police and firemen. Years ago, when they retired after 20-22 years, they only lived another 15 years, maybe a little longer. But today, they retire at 45 or so, and they live another 25-35 years. And don’t tell me it’s dangerous work. If it were that dangerous, they wouldn’t have their sons and daughters follow in their footsteps. Thank you.

Pension Plan

Police and firefighters don’t have dangerous jobs? What are you, a tightrope walker? But you’ve got a point about the retirement age. Thanks to this gosh-darn modern medicine, people just won’t die on time. —Ed. Note
