Illinois keeps trying to do the same, Greg, but looks like current employees would get Grandfathered in to their current pension plan. If it looked like negative changes were coming, I would likely pull the plug and get another job in the field. I have seen too many in private industry get screwed after a lifetime on their job.

Same here Tom, but I just keep wondering how long until they decide that they want to go after the Grandfathered as well.

That is why I will pull the plug if that is going to happen, Justin, too many years in to get jammed up this late in the game.

Definately. So far they're just talking minor pension changes for new hires. but we did just take a paycut which sucks. But at least I have job security, people in this country aren't getting any smarter.

What G said except 3.5 yrs of service. Hopefully there will still be a pension when I'm eligible to retire. But I do enjoy my work, mostly due to the co-workers I currently have.
