Author Robert Fellner of Transparent California, which publishes wage and pension figures for state and local agencies, says union-driven government salaries are excessive and come at the expense of struggling taxpayers. He employs vague, circuitous logic and cherry-picked Census Bureau statistics to bash public workers. He ultimately pivots to trashing public retirement plans, claiming they can cost up to 20 times more than what private employers pay. This is the kind of gratuitous assault we often face from free market public pension critics. http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2016/feb/12/tp-high-public-pay-a-toll-on-others/
