NO PENSIONS FOR LEGISLATORS

just saw this at Weintraub's blog . . .

"I don't know if it's an organized letter-writing campaign or just political amnesia, but I've received a dozen or more emails suggesting I advocate repeal of legislators' pensions before we touch the retirement benefits of state workers. Most of you know this, but for those who don't: California legislators lost their pensions in 1990, when voters approved term limits. Prop. 140, in addition to capping service in the Assembly at three terms and in the Senate at two terms, cut the Legislature's budget and banned lawmakers from receiving pensions."
