Somewhere, Sergeant Friday is watching this and not impressed.Embezzlement of public funds is just fine when public employees approve the embezzlement.
As no city budget in California is permitted to carry ANY debt which is not in the form of bonds through measures approved by the voters, unpaid retirement or benefits also is not permitted, except that public employees say it is, so thus more and more of municipal (and county) budgets are determined by city councils and boards of supervisors, sometimes decades in the past.
Because you can always promise some of a budget you don’t have to make and certainly don’t have to come up with the cash for it.
And it’s just okay, because public employees have approved it. Mind you, they’ll come with guns to your house to take it if you fail to pay for the property tax, special district, and other extra taxes they pump out to pay for those sometimes decades old decisions...
The left is going to have an anniversary of Charlottesville every year for the next hundred years. They turned it into a condemnation of Trump as racist. It was staged.
Wow ... California police retirees pretending they’re fireman ?
"...lump-sum $1.27M retirement..."
This can only happen in movies, tv shows and places like LA/Chicago and ?!
“Moore said he was as shocked as everyone else when Beck announced his pending retirement.”
When you can fake sincerity, you’ve got it made!
I’ve watched a succession of FF’s rise to becoming chief in our little Fire District a year or two before they can retire (@age 50). Each one of them walks away with huge windfall retirement benes and lifelong healthcare for themselves and their families. If each of them lives to be 80, they will have “consumed” about $10 million each in taxpayer money just on their pension benefits alone!
Somewhere, Sergeant Friday is watching this and not impressed.the 240k per year pension is robbery.
Out freakin rageous.
CA tax payers once again get economically gang banged by those in government.
When will this widespread looting end?
This is a perfect example of why leftists want to take over government at all levels. Once they do, they then steal from the people.
We must fight back and stop leftists at all levels.

Will he get another retirement in 5 years? What greedy sleaze these so-called “public servants” in government are!
It’s a great job if you can get it.
I’m guessing that what he did was all totally legit.
If you don’t like the rules, change them. BUT, in the meantime, we must play by them, or at least not complain when someone else does.
What a Surprise! NOT!! Kalifornia Governor Brown is already receiving multiple pensions. He was Oakland Mayor, Kalifornia Attorney General, probably other positions too. Because of Hollywood and Silicon Valley Kalifornia will not implode as soon as it would, but eventually there will be so many retirees and welfare recipients that the system will break.
After he and his deputies did such a bang up job on Doug Zerby, maybe he deserves the money /s
oops, I was thinking of the LA Sheriff
Collect $1.27 million and then get rehired?
What a system! Democrats are brilliant!
Where is Occasional Cortex? They can just give $1.27 million to everyone! (can I get mine quickly before the money becomes as useful as toilet paper?)
If Kali rules allowed this, can’t blame him for taking advantage. Need to change the rules.
