Today, September 23, the Phoenix City Council Special Subcommittee on Pension Reform will be meeting at 4:30 pm in the Phoenix City Council chambers.
According to Phoenix City Councilman, “The last meeting held had no taxpayers present to offer public comment — the only people were City employees, who have a vested interest in continued pension spiking.”
DiCiccio hopes that residents who are concerned about the run-away pension spiking will attend and let their voices be heard. “Everyone at the table was a beneficiary of current pension system,” DiCiccio wrote constituents. “Nobody at table representing the taxpayer. Presentation was designed and presented by beneficiaries.”
Mayor Stanton promised to completely end it, but instead, was the swing vote (5-4) to keep spiking.
The Pension Fairness and Spiking Elimination Ad Hoc Subcommittee met for the first time on Tuesday, Sept. 17.
