...since I don't see a "party affiliation" with this story, that tells me it's democrats. If it was a republican it would be mentioned three or four times in every sentence.

Tasco was one of six Council members to enroll in the city’s controversial Deferred Retirement Option Plan, better known as DROP. She did not immediately return a request for comment.

Plan participants trade a lower lifetime pension for a large one-time lump sum payment, but they are supposed to retire when they get that check.

Several elected officials, however, exercised a right approved by two city solicitors to run for election, retire for a day, collect their DROP payments, and return to work.
