American taxpayers are tired of wasting money on fraud and abuse in the pension systems for FDNY and NYPD. Too many false claims and inflated benefits drain funds that should go to workers who earned them. Oversight is weak, allowing too many to cheat the system. This misuse costs taxpayers billions each year. Reforms are needed to cut down on fraud and make benefits fair for honest workers. Ending abuse will save money and restore trust in these pension plans. Taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for others’ misuse of the system. Cleaning up these programs can prevent future waste and protect taxpayer dollars.
