Why not cut PERS? The voters have been consistently denied a chance to vote on PERS and other alt left social programs are the source of the current financial mess. Take case of the Peruvian illegal immigrant up in Portland. She's been here illegally for 14 years and had four kids, all,on OHP. The welfare and other social services costs, public schooling costs, healthcare costs, for this illegal and her four children, who ARE NOT US citizens, would cover the retir meant costs for two PERS retirees. Yet, the chief supporters of this blood sucking tick are PERS types. Thre n the DHS to be consequences to leftist ideology. One of them is the loss of PERS. After that a thorough housecleaning of th legislature.
