That is pretty much across the board for federal employees, whether careerists like myself, appointees, or elected officials.<br /><br />Keep in mind that anyone collecting a pension on a mere 5 years of service is collecting very little. You have to reach 30 yrs of service and age 55 to retire under the old CSRS system and the top pension amount Kherishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07274470534802993651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508797.post-26880533840572650162012-01-11T19:12:04.724-06:002012-01-11T19:12:04.724-06:00I have heard 20 years of service is the threshold ...I have heard 20 years of service is the threshold for City of Chicago officeholders, but I'm not certain. Moore would qualify if it is indeed the case, having served four full terms already.<br /><br />On another note, I'm appalled to learn that an elected officeholder at the federal level need serve only five years to get a pension. No wonder we can't get federal spending in hand.

In the Federal sector once you accrue 5 years of service you can qualify. You just have to wait until you reach the appropriate age to receive it.Kherishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07274470534802993651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508797.post-86726552450105952702011-11-20T15:45:43.383-06:002011-11-20T15:45:43.383-06:00For years, it's seemed like Joe Moore was aimi...For years, it's seemed like Joe Moore was aiming to get attention beyond Chicago and move up to a broader political venue, so the possibility of a statewide position fits into that apparent plan. <br /><br />I've heard good things about Barbara Moore, but I've never met her.
