[quote=Anonymous]So, you want to tell a bunch of retired public school employees that the county wants to call backsies on the pension program that was part of their benefits package?  I am not going to argue that pension programs are sustainable as presently implemented, but the only way to change that is to adjust forward-looking benefits, not stiff retirees.

I am a big proponent of arts programs -- both my DH and I were band nerds from junior high all the way through college, and it was a wonderful, well-rounded experience.  I strongly value arts education programs and am pissed when schools seem to have plenty of funding for athletics but not the arts.  I will buy from any kid who shows up at my house fundraising for an arts program, whether I know them or not.

I am all for advocacy for these programs, but I think you're taking aim at a source that is unlikely to be touchable based on the pension agreement and should be taking a harder eye at the bloated administration of FCPS.[/quote]
