ACSS Secretary-Treasurer Terry Sutherland is quoted in State Worker columnist Jon Ortiz's article Sunday revealing that state retirements rose 13 percent in the first half of this year compared with the same period last year. Sutherland, a CPA with the Franchise Tax Board in the Bay Area, says that with the reduction in pay from the furloughs he will make more money as a retiree. "I just can't afford to subsidize my job any more," he says. He will retire in November.
