I worked for the state of Texas as a public employee from 1987 to 2000 so I know that public employees can sometimes be treated as second class citizens. Since employee retirement systems affect the employees, taxpayers and are heavily influenced by politics they are a legitimate topic to discuss on a political forum.

Thanks for your service and I wish that your retirement had been a little less worry-free.
