You may have been following all the ranting by Rhode Island pensioners who are upset over so-called pension reforms in the state. They are really only getting a bit less of more. Yes, read it again. It makes sense. Two of the retired teachers in the article retired in 2007 and 2009 received over $56,000 in 2010, the last year for pension data in the database and were allocated 1.79 million dollars and 1.39 million dollars respectively as their total payout. I am quite sure they are getting way more than they put in; and then there is the healthcare....
Anyway, check out this database. By the way, many states now have databases where you can look up salaries and pensions for public sector workers. (See the NY State Database link to the right.) As a taxpayer, you owe it to yourself and your family to get to know your state's database and to lobby for one if your state doesn't have it.

Just make sure to sit down before you look!
