I've seen forty more.

Don't forget the document where Mr. Thigpen's bunch described how to destroy the state retirement system. Bully for that bastard.

And don't forget the many documents revealing just how (un)clever the Charlie Capps bunch was in giving themselves SLRP, amounting to 1.5 X the benefits as others. Not to mention getting themselves qualified to retire at 4 years regardless of age. And their effort to double their retirement (that failed) nine years ago. Talk about a bunch of 'bastards'. Thigpen is just doing his usual fine job, exposing shysters where they're found.

Yup. The reason why probably SLRP does not get as much scrutiny right now as well as the MHP fund does is because they are relatively small accounts. PERS is nearly $21 billion. SLRP is less than $12 million and MHP fund less than $230 million. However, the media is calling out the legislature more and more for having SLRP in the first place.

I wonder if abolishing SLRP would be an initiative Hampton would get behind. In fact, such a project might be a good use of the internet and to see how much it can affect politics. Wouldn't be surprised at all if we could get a bunch of cops and teachers to pound the pavement getting signatures.

Kingfish: Surely you know that SLRP (and the legislature) is an extension of and part of PERS. I do hope you are not attempting to convince me that ONLY 12 million is not worthy of investigation. Where is your usual investigative outrage? You cannot deny the fact that the legislature has several times successfully pumped up their personal benefits while ignoring other PERS members.

As much as I detest Hampie, I thought his Sunday coverage of this subject was right on point. Even YOU would admit that if you were fair.

Then provide them or post them on your own blog. Can you do that or are you incapable?

Ironic statement coming from you.

Anon/KF @ 9:40. They're not worthy of posting. Most of them are notes and transcripts of meetings or either this group or that group's take on the situation. A majority of them are spotlighting the fact that the legislative plans are flying under the radar, even your own. I'll be glad to forward them to you as I receive them, if you like.
