That brings up some interesting questions:
How many years do you think someone should have to put in before they can retire with a full pension?
Many large companies (General Motors, Nynex, Verizon, Etc.) have given early retirement and pensions to their employees. Would you restrict those employees too?
How would you determine what positions the retired could hold after retirement and what positions you would restrict them from?
Since the Chief retired in Concord Massachusetts which state (NH or MA) should have that requirement, or pass that law?
It seems that most people think that the town of Moultonborough has benefited from hiring this experienced Chief. Do you think the town would be better off hiring someone younger, with less experience, because they didn't want someone who was collecting a pension in another state?
If the Chief already gets his medical benefits in MA thus saving the town of Moultonborough that expense, does that seem wrong too?
So many questions!:
