Doug, the problem is that Avedisian and Solomon didn't create the problems created by defined benefit pensions. These problems have passed from administration to administration for 40 years. Any system that allows politicians to promise generous benefits that won't have to be paid for 30 years is a bad system. All new hires should be moved into a defined contribution system. This way all parties have a clear view of the actual costs of city services. It drives me crazy that my friends are making concessions while the retiree's are living on a much better retirement than will be available to them.

And yes I'm shocked that so many Warwick residents are so unbelievably dumb.
