The commenter who said this was a political hit job by Doug Underhill is probably correct. I’ve watched that guy do ruthless divisive things for years, and honestly I’m shocked Pam Childers would have allowed herself to be played by him like this.

Hopefully in Rep. Michelle Salzman’s next term she will push for term limits on the Board of County Commissioners and the Clerk’s office like she was able to do to ECUA. We need fresh voices in those seats too. They have all resorted to infighting and power grabs. Their drama has to stop before ALL of our tax dollars go to lawyers.

@ Citizen the Judge has not ruled it is legal yet for elected officials. That will be his next ruling.

Bewildered nailed it by calling this a “fat cat” benefit. I put in 33 years as a “high risk” employee with FRS and upon retirement, I still had to obtain a second job to pay my health insurance and what little was left on my morgage. The only light at the end of the tunnel will be my SS check and enrollment into Medicare. I won’t be comfortable, I’ll be manageable. We can only be blessed that my wife and I don’t have any serious medical issues sice the only affordable plan was the high deductable one.

Thank you FRS for screwing the little guy and our county government for lining their pockets. Time to run for County Commissioner.

Yes 401a legal. Contributions by the taxpayers of Escambia the same for this one time pay out or the FRS with lifetime benefits and beneficiaries.

Political hit job by Underhill and his zombies, but Childers played along too as well as the idiot cartoonist at PNJ and the facebook propaganda site ECW.
Interesting recommendation in the ongoing ethics saga too.

No idea why Childers even filed the suit. All the top management positions covered under the Florida Retirement System have been and are getting this „fat cat“ benefit. The rich get richer upon retirement and the working class stays where they belong. Not anything new or surprising
