7. What an odd perspective

But even going with their idea that this is important, how is this different than the corporate world?

Would they question the likely larger pension of a top executive in a corporation where he had already worked for 28 years and was continuing?

Would they even bother to note that an employee who was there for about three years was not entitled to a pension? One observation on Brown is that if he runs and wins, then loses in 2014 - even if they bridge service, he will STILL not be at 5 years - only 4 1/2! Then they will really be unhappy!
