As a factual example, (one thing that Corrente can never offer), Chief Armstrong contributed into his pension during his entire career $152,000. That was returned to him in full in less than the first 18 months of retirement. That also dosen't include the $77,000 in unused sick pay that he took as he walked out the door.

Now here is the scum bag maneuver that Armstrong pulled. He was able to negotiate his own contract directly with the mayor. In that contract he specified 24 vacation days per year. Not monthly accruement, yearly. So what did he do, he gave his notice in the first week of the January, so in the second week when he retired we had to pay him an additional 24 days pay on top of all of the "unused sick days". That is just one example of how the fire fighters game the system. By the way, unlike Corrente, I have the official documents from the city and would be more than happy to share them with anyone.
