San Diego’s pension fund expects to earn 7.75 percent a year
These civil servants spend their careers in extremely high risk positions earning below-average wage... By CDA ============== Please show me a private sector job that comps a 20 year old $200K before OT where there is no education or prior work experience needed, well except a GED. LOL @ "below average wage"...you clowns are too much.— October 13, 2010 4:51 p.m.
San Diego’s pension fund expects to earn 7.75 percent a year
Safety workers retire earlier than traditional jobs due to the physical demands of job and subsequent limitations as the body ages. With average health, one can expect to work at a desk job well into their 60s or 70s. The same principle can not be applied to safety workers. For example, would you expect a 65 year old lifeguard to perform as well as one in his or her 30s or 40s? By CDA ============ Another "Hero" with the "we're too old to do this job"...boo...hoo...hoo. Cry me a river. Hey champ, I will find some work for you to do if you can no longer get out of your Lazy-Chair. Can you be a crossing guard. How about painting curbs, or cleaning up trash???? Plenty of muni jobs that need attending to. And why should taxpayers be forced to support you for 40 years for doing nothing?? Construction jobs are 10 times as physical and 10 times more dangerous, you don't see them "retiring" at age 50 and whining like a 3rd grader when they get called out on their whopper lies.— October 13, 2010 4:49 p.m.
Last -Minute Legislature Deal Boosts Chances of Massive Chargers Subsidy
This is why the recent Supreme Court decision giving corporations and unions the ability to feed money to pols without restraint overwhelmingly favors one side: the corporations and billionaires ======= Citizens United was right behind Kelo/new London as the worst SCOTUS decision in the last 100 years. I think 70% of public sector employees are union members, vs 7% in the private sector. In STATE politics public unions are by far the biggest special interest group/s, outspending corps by a wide margin. Whitman said last night that teh public unions have contributed over $300 million in campaign $$ during the last few (4??) years. That is an incredible number.— October 13, 2010 8:41 a.m.

http://data.uniontrib.com/san-diego/payroll "payroll" is NOT compensation. Do you not understand the difference??? Are you really dumber than a bag of rocks???????— October 12, 2010 7:37 p.m.
Is Chula Vista's Future Blight Around the Corner?
Actually it is more like $250k-$300K when you add in OT, NOT $200K— October 12, 2010 7:35 p.m.

Every dog has a story
. "Dogs in Translation" by Temple Grandin is a must read for people who want to understand aggression. ====== Im on it!! I only adopt or foster the seniors, they are the ones who have had a decent life and been dumped throuhg no reason of their own. I love the seniors. My senior Cocker Spaniel Sully is at the groomer right now getting his last haircut of the season, pick him up in an hour! Wonderful dog, adopted him in May at age 14, his owner adopted him as a puppy in 96, but she went blind and had to surrender him because she was in her 80's, blind and kept tripping over him. I feel so lucky to have been there at the shelter on the right day at the right time.......— October 12, 2010 10:10 a.m.
