A Newport Voice On Councilman Curry's Pension Plebiscite Proposal

"Connected", the pseudonymous proprietor of the Newport Beach Voices blog, posted this morning on Newport Beach Councilman Keith Curry's proposal to submit city employee pension hikes to voter approval:

First off, what Newport Beach City Councilman Keith Curry is trying to do with having the voters vote on City Employee Pensions is a very good idea and will help the City save some money, even if 3.5% of the 11% RAISE the City Employees will get over the next three years will go to their own pensions (so technically, they get a 7.5% over the next three years). Its a great start in reining in the overspending City Council's typically do on the Gravy Train mentality City Employees, and City Councils, typically have.

But...before the Lincoln Club of Orange County president Richard Wagner kisses Councilman Keith Curry's butt too much (in this OCRegister opinion piece), lets have him look at a few things the Newport Beach City Council is wrapped up in.
