TOPEKA | A union has filed legal and administrative actions seeking to delay Gov. Sam Brownback's proposal to offer a voluntary retirement program for state employees.

The Kansas Organization of State Employees filed the complaints Wednesday against Brownback's proposal, which he announced Tuesday. It asked a Shawnee County judge to block the plan until administrative reviews are completed.

Brownback says the plan would save the state millions of dollars.

1. What is the problem?

If somebody thinks its a good deal, and they choose to retire early, the state saves money, and the person is happy.

If somebody thinks its a bad deal, then don't take advantage of it.
