Sacramento Bee's front page support of Scully's education position!

"Sac City to revisit pensions" on the Bee's 09/14/2003 front page EXPOSES Sac school district financial outrages. District CFO Laura Bruno writes herself a sweet $48,000 annual pension for 30 months service ! That's in addition to her $94,000 CALPERS pension ! Oh, these poor, poor educators! sob, sob... She tripled superintendent Sweeney's pension from $43K to $120,000 ! Says Sweeney, "I know damn well I didn't do anything wrong... I want to get my fair share... I don't apologize for doing that." Sweeney retired in June. His legacy includes leaving Hiram Johnson High School an armed encampment. The Bee, 09/16/2003: "But, most significantly, they (Bruno and Sweeney) were each given 10 additional years of service credit at no cost to them. Pension experts say such an action is extraordinary." "sweetens the benefits for 100 other employees". Are you pissed ? You should be ! "Bee follow-up article 09/16/2003"
