Creating a bigger problem

         Congratulations Governor, you not only get to lay off one thousand state workers but you succeeded in forcing up to twenty five hundred state workers into early retirement to the delight of thousands of Rhode Island citizens. Unfortunately  these  people  who are being forced into retirement have been dedicated workers for many years  and don't deserve to be depicted as the cause of all the all the states problems.

         Does it make sense to force these people into retirement? Where's the savings? You may save money down the road on employees who don't have the years to retire but your just shifting the burden to the states retirement system, which can least afford it and the new retirees won't be paying into the system anymore, where's the savings? Seem like your just creating a bigger problem.
