The horror, the tragedy of requiring a state employee to pay only 3% of their own retirement plan.
Jihad against government workers??????????

Breach of contract, as the judge ruled. Break the law, face the consequences.

They are allowed to do this for new employees that were hired after the law. But they cannot change the rules for existing employees.

10 years from now, probably at least 40% of employees will be contributing the 3% and this number will increase every year thereafter.

Scott is used to being a CEO and making rules without having a constitution in place. If he could, he would be changing the constitution as well. Thank goodness there are at least some laws in place to protect Floridians from Mr Scott. Too bad he is wasting millions and millions in taxpaper dollars fighting lawsuits related to bad decisions he has made. Once he loses the lawsuits, the legal bill will be even higher and all his bad decisions will be reversed.

You would think he would get some legal advise ahead of time so the taxpaper money doesn't continue to be wasted on losing court battles.

He has gotten legal advice and ignores it. And as a result, the lawsuits keep coming.

Exactly-if the state wants employees to contribute, negotiate for it in the next contract. Maybe they'll get it, maybe they won't but the state can't break a contract any more than a private citizen can.

As being one of the better funded pensions in the nation it would have been much more reasonable to go after a 3% cut for new employees.

That would be too simple. "Captain Carpetbagger" wants nothing more than to destroy the public workforce and replace it with private contractors which bill out at 2x what they pay the state workers. To pay back his campaign contributors.
