Last -Minute Legislature Deal Boosts Chances of Massive Chargers Subsidy
The Chargers and City leaders have been talking about building a stadium on a small site near Petco Park that would cost at least $800 million; the City's subsidy could be $500 million to $800 million =================== OK, this is the LAST STRAW-I am starting a recall drive on that progressive surrender monkey Sanders. Who's with me?— October 9, 2010 12:26 p.m.
Is Chula Vista's Future Blight Around the Corner?
I think we all can see your visceral distaste for those that serve you. ==== No, I have a distaste for public employees who steal from the poor and middle class to line their own pockets and retire at age 50 as millionaires while everyone else is being left homeless and hungry because of the tax hikes to pay for these scams..— October 9, 2010 8:55 a.m.
Chula Vista to Cash In on Telecom Revolution? Prop H to Decide
If you don't like paying taxes, I can understand. But these are fees already paid to companies and they keep them! =========== 100% FALSE, If the extension is not exteneded (and it won't be) the tax ceases and NO ONE, NO COMPANY can collect it. But if they do collect it after H fails, contact me Pancho-we will go after the scammers in court. Here is a better idea, cut the multi million dollar, "retire as multi millionaires at age 50" pensions and lower the salary for the cities employees-that woulf go 100 times further than H would or could ever hope to.— October 9, 2010 8:52 a.m.
Pssst! Howd'ya Like to Retire with $300,000 a Year of Taxpayer Moolah
His cut the pay of current employees idea appears to be a talking point straight from DeMaio's latest bright idea. However, it has a few issues that I'm not sure he realizes. The ARC, or Annual Required Contribution, is based on current salary. The pension is based on high one year. If you cut salaries, you'll still pay a pension based on the higher salary. But you'll make payments based on the lower salary. That's a recipe for failure. =================== OK, I have to educate our brilliant GED educated cops one more time it looks like, because they still try to pull their little scams no matter how many times that get spanked, so here goes. JoeySunday- ANY loss in pension contributions made from LOWERING the pay, would be made up by a factor of 4-1 by the lower salary costs. Here, let me expain this so your pea sized brain can understand it, if a cop or ff makes $100K per year, the pension contribution from the city is $30K (just for argument we will use 30%). You cut the pay 25% down to $75K and the pension payment is $22.5K, so yes, there is a pension contribution loss of $7.5K, BUT you have a $25K savings on the lower salary....OK Joey.....time to put your little thinking cap on, $25K-$7.5K= savings of $17,500 AFTER the pension contribution is made based on the $100K salary. Get it Einstein Junior!— October 9, 2010 8:44 a.m.
Pssst! Howd'ya Like to Retire with $300,000 a Year of Taxpayer Moolah
Been a while since I bothered to stop in here. I'm glad to see that my old buddy Johnny Vegas has finally realized that attempting to cut vested pensions is tilting windmills. ============= Errrr...right-that is what they said in Pritchard Alabama too, watch and cry, this is you in a few more years Joey!! http://www.clipsyndicate.com/video/play/1470765/5… .— October 9, 2010 8:34 a.m.

Lend a Hand to Wall Street. Get Laid Off
Gold? I think it should continue to do well as the dollar sinks, but it, too, ========== Gold has had an incredible run the last 5 years, but what goes up must come down, and gold will come down. The thing with gold is you never know WHEN it will go on a run, despite what the Monex and other precious metals companies push. Gold was at or around $300 for a couple of decades. When I see metals go thru the roof, in a relatively short period of time, I will always think back to the Hunt brothers run on Silver back in the 70's......— October 9, 2010 8:30 a.m.
