I am noticing in the last several years that PERS Tier 1 is not only a crutch or two for those who qualify, but Lotsa crutches.  There is evidence that after someone has been employed for 30+ years in PERS Tier 1 and they know they have tremendous financial security,  they start letting their hair down and behaving differently and do not care what the public thinks whether its legal, illegal, respectful or disrespectful, appropriate or inappropriate.   What message does this send to the students, young children, society?????
