I don't think they are trying to perpetrate a scam. But I do know local educators that spiked their pensions by working overtime right before they retired. The vast majority of the local school district budget goes to support pensions, not fix peeling paint or removing weeds which are visible on almost all local school grounds. This isn't an issue of underfunding. This is a problem that has resulted from mis-management.
