| Summary | The Denver Post analysis of pension records reveals an outdated pension system that "funnels millions of tax dollars to retired city police officers and firefighters by linking their pensions to the salaries of current department employees, even decades after they've retired." As city and state budgets tighten, the strain of the pension system is becoming even greater. |
