To REALLY save taxpayer money, a sheriff shouldn't receive a fixed salary but instead should get a % of jail phone revenue, jail commissary, tax liens, sheriff sales, etc. Just like back in the day!

Yea, that's because police and fire unions paid off enough people to get themselves exempted from this immoral government-sponsored ponzi scheme. Not being forced into this bankrupt scam is just additional compensation on top of already VERY generous wages and benefits.

Now you know why there are a zillion
candidates for a sheriff's race when
there's no incumbent running.

Check out the value of ex-Sheriff
Dant's retirement in this NFP case
on his divorce that went to the
Indiana COA which was recently
decided.

This is just Political bull shit. Do not confuse the Sheriff pension with the Perf police and firefighter pension. Must be election year for the sheriff and he is not getting the support from a former sheriff.

Do not compare what is going on in Illinois to the 1977 Indiana pension fund which his completely funded.

Sheriffs get full Social Security and the local police and fire do not. Check the Windfall Elimination section of Social Security.

Pretty sure all this pension stuff will become a non issue when the world economy finally dies from the death blow of 2008.

One could be aboard with this so long as stupid people didn't get involved. A fireman, for instance, maybe we want to hire him at age 20 and have the best part of his life physically fit until some arbitrary age like 45. Same with Police? Heavy [physical demands are made on these people and greater risks to them exist. That said, pensions beginning at age 55 are too generous, maybe age 70 would be more reasonable these days. Often enough, however, folks want to steal these benefits via inflation, for one, or outright...as in the case next door West. Public sector unions have corrupted the process in both states.
