Sixty-three dollars a month for our retirees is a disgrace when we can afford to give them nineteen hundred—that’s the plain truth. We’re not asking for charity, we’re asking for decency, and three times the current pittance is the very least they deserve. Any politician who tells you otherwise hasn’t been listening to the people who actually live here.
