Clamp down on Pension Abuse by preventing further exploitation of already generous benefits.

By Russell V. Watts

Candidate for Treasurer-Tax Collector; County of Contra Costa

This information is provided by the candidate
As an ex officio member on the Retirement Board I will promote transparency and accountability when determining true costs of benefits the County awards its employees.
County taxpayers have been stuck with an unsustainable bill for retirement benefits due to schemes that have artificially inflated public pensions. I will work on your behalf to put in place stronger policies to prevent further exploitation of already generous benefits through illegal double-dipping and pension spiking. Enough of gaming the system at the expense of the taxpayers!
