In regards to pensions I feel like politicians should be just paid more upfront and not given pensions. This would incentivize actual service rather than clinging to a seat in order to get that golden ticket then ultimately it doesn’t matter what happens after that.

As someone who has a defined benefit pension I’ll likely never realize, pensions outside of maybe policing and nursing are for losers. The vast majority of people I know who aren’t in those aforementioned fields who have defined benefit pensions are the George Constanza type of employee who would work for a decade in a broom closet in order to keep that pension because they have no prospects otherwise. Especially in municipal service imo.
