Outrageous pensions

[ecduzitgood]

The email was indeed incorrect and I am making corrections as I uncover the truth. I have replaced the word pay with pension in the original post and have also discovered the maximum benefit cannot exceed 80% of a members final pay. I have also changed the word full with partial I am still somewhat disturbed that there is a pension benefit after only 5 years of service. I am trying to decipher order Code RL30631 CRS Report for Congress which seems to have the information I am seeking, although I am not sure I have the intellectual capability to fully understand how it works.

If you want to put forth correct information then delete everything after this line....

"I received an email that disturbed me and need to pass it along
"

because that whole e-mail is pretty much factually incorrect

Perhaps I should remove the first line because this has started to evolve into my findings and not an email, it's still a work in progress.
I do support the proposed amendment though.
