Ficano's bag man gets 97k pension.

That is sickening. This guy didn't even put 10 years on the job, starts drawing it next year when he turns 42 years old. You have people that retired from the county with over 30 years barely getting $1,500 dollars per month, that probably did 3 times the work this clown did. Ficano needs to go and laws need to be changed.

He has more years of service, 9 years at the county over 10 at another city he worked for. The state Constitution is what allowed him to buy into the system. No one in Lansing will touch that law though so this will continue.

Whoop-de-doo, 19 years total. "Still doesn't make it right". Looks like I chose the wrong profession.

It is right by the way the laws read, it isn't right by common sense and what the private sector has, but until the laws are changed that is the way they read. Look at all the suburban Police/Fire guys that retire with 100K+ pensions.

You probably did - a Fire Fighter was a great profession, 8-10 days a month of work, and if you played the game right with sick/vacation/OT you could walk out with 80k+ pension. Snyder/Lansing has changed some of those multipliers and bonus payments that people could get.
