The mayor that did this to Prichard is a democrat. The republicans on the city councel were the only ones fighting to PAY the pensioners. So the guy doing the radio show has either gotten his facts horribly wrong, or he's just plain lying to make the story shed a better light on democrats who wasted the money for the pensions on a golf course, website, and "economic and housing agencies" Not to mention that dem mayor makes nearly 100,000 and still gets paid.

"Pensions are not going to get you rich. They're just going to keep you from dying in old-age poverty." Well said.
