This guy a lightweight. When you read about him spending his time presenting (*)-of-the-years awards, and his apparently shady campaign shenanigans, plus the lionization of a basketball player you start understanding how much substance there isn't.
John Liu makes a strong case for defined benefit pensions. What he doesn't seemto realize is that for only public sector employees to have pensions while no one else does creates two classes of people and a divided public that will be unable to act when it comes to resolving the coming problem of elder poverty.
Case in point: What large block was against the reform of the health care system? Public employees, because the current failing system still works for them.
"connected to europe"...ya great connection...now try to get a rub off of Lin...use him for political reasons...sheesh what a world....now the pablum what we can do if we are given a chance. He is an asset? he is a basketball player

Please ask this official about "pension padding" which is done by many municipal employees where overtime is included in the pension calculation. This is a rite of passage for these employees resulting in inflated pension payments for years. This is paid for by the taxpayers and unstainable as a feature of a pension system. Please ask him if there is any other pension system in the country with such a feature.

I' m very happy to see John Liu did a good job for our new yorker.

That was a pathetic self-defense.

WOW!
The new paradigm for real BAD acting!!
a great honest public servant...he lives to serve
