Seven members of the Los Angeles city council are proposing to reduce the benefits for civilian workers 2 percent of what they make will go to pay health care cost of the people who have retired. The retirement age would change from 55 to 60. One of the council members in favor of this is Eric Garcetti. He is saying that his proposal will have a big impact in a postive way. He is saying that soon it will be time for a lot of workers to retire. So their will be a lot of new jobs available. This proposal won't affect workers that work for the department of water and power. It won't affect them because they have their own pension system.
For this proposal their are many council members in favor of it. They beleive it will be a big help but i wonder how the workers feel about having 2 percent of their salary taking out. Maybe some will be in favor of it but on the other hand their might be some who feel it is not fair. Maybe the workers who support garcetti will now be against him because they feel it wouldn't be fair. On the other hand maybe he can gain more support from the worker sit can go both ways.
