It can be done if you get involved. Some criticize law enforcement and firefighters for allegedly "abusing" the system because of the lucrative retirement benefits in the Done Program. They yell it is an outrage and not right. They forget the legislator and governor passed this as well as other retirement benefits many citizens are now against (now that the economy is in such bad shape, but they had nothing but contempt for state employment because of its low pay when things were normal). They did not come about through an administrative decree by the retirement system or governmental agencies. They came about as the result of individuals and groups working within the democratic system by attending hearings, speaking at hearings and committees, and writing letters to their legislators - getting involved.
