Vote YES 487/Stop Pension Abuse
We all love our firefighters and respect them for the hard work they give our city.

Especially since they're clearly excluded from the pension reform proposal. Why, because they're concerned that they may be next for reform.

Why does pension reform matter? Without reform you will see more:
New and higher taxes: Phoenix passed a new water tax on you to pay for pension spiking.
Cuts in Service: Phoenix is short over 500 police, cuts were made to seniors, libraries, seniors and children.

What does 487 do?
* It immediately stops pension spiking. This alone would save over $19 million per year
* Fixes the broken pension system saving over $400 million.
* Allows current employees to keep everything they have earned.
* Makes new employees get the same retirement benefits you get. Moving all newemployees to a 401(K).
*Police and Fire are clearly excluded from the proposal.
