| DA’s Pension Payout |
| District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis’ pension would approach $250,000 annually assuming she finishes her current term in office. If she’s successful in her bid for mayor and serves eight years, she’s eligible for more than $305,000 a year. |
| Why It Matters |
| Dumanis will be forced to come up with a plan to deal with the city’s pension costs. As she does that, her own pension provides a stark reminder of how high public employee pensions could rise under the current systems and how tomorrow’s workers are being asked to pay the price. |
| In Her Words |
| Dumanis says that she will decline a city pension if elected mayor. She said there’s something wrong with a system that allows you to collect a pension bigger than your salary, as she likely will. “I didn’t create that system and I’m going to fix that system,” she said. |
