Wow-there is TOO much good info to even comment on, you pretty much covered it all Don. Good job.— April 7, 2010 3:27 p.m.
Did Sanders Order Detective Reprimanded?
BTW-don't you vest in the San Diego pension system after a short 5 years???? If yes, then Lansdowne can pull a SD pension, in addition to the others he has, right now. 3% x7 years would be 21% of whatever he makes. If he is making $200K/year then that would be $42K on top of his other pensions. Only in gov could someone pull multiple high dollar pensions like this. And reason #1 why gov is bust.— April 7, 2010 12:19 a.m.

The Runaways were a great band...very sad about Sandy West, and it is shameful the new movie only focuses on Joan and Cherie, because Lita, Jackie and Sandy were every bit as important. BTW, Jackie is now a lawyer in LA, graduated Harvard Law School.— April 7, 2010 12:16 a.m.

I am sure Lansdowne gets a big pension from San Jose, but he was not with RPD long enough to pull a pension-or his 4 years there may have been credited to Sam Jose. I did not know about Oakland. I will say this-after reading about how fast Lansdowne folded over KFC Sanders meddling, I have no respect for him. He is the Chief of SD Police, not KFC Sanders (not anymore anyway).— April 7, 2010 12:12 a.m.

Watch going to the Zoo. A chimp may attack you. ================ You don't need to go to the Zoo, we have a circus chimp in the Mayors office attacking us right now. Just watch him on TV for free :)— April 6, 2010 8:42 p.m.

If Sanders were caught in a law udner oath it would get reported-here and other places. Would he be prosecuted? Not locally IMO. But this is the sort of case the AG's office would hopefully take, or the US Attorney-ala Randall Cunningham style.— April 6, 2010 9:15 a.m.

Get KFC Sanders under oath and fire away. He will trip himself up in his own lies.— April 5, 2010 6:41 p.m.

I'd like to know more about these administrative law judges that make the decisions. ======================== These are basically lawyers who handle all the grunt work on low level disputes with agencies like EDD, welfare and so forth. Administrative law judges do all the legwork and "fact finding" and then make a ruling. They do this so our regular Superior Court system would not get over run with literally millions of these types of agency disputes. Of course if you lose with an administrative law judge you appeal to the Superior Court for review. As I have noted in the past, I have had MANY bad decisions and rulings come out of these "administrative law judges", including actually catching one administrative law judge with a perjured ruling- the judge flat our committed perjury. I caught him red handed because the perjury was in a written decision and I had proven the issue he lied about could only have come from a piece of evidence which he himself ruled was inadmissible hearsay. Claimed he did not even read the report. Yet part of this excluded evidence showed up VERBATIM in the ruling/decision. He was over turned, but the time, cost and effort to get the perjured ruling over turned were substantial. Got caught red handed committing perjury-now that is the bottom of the barrel. Did this loser lose his law license, get disciplined in any manner whatsoever? Of course not, this is the gov we are talking about here. http://www.oah.dgs.ca.gov/default.htm— April 5, 2010 8:42 a.m.
Bersin Didn't Fill Out Certain Domestic Worker Forms, Says Mag
So, now the new head of border enforcement has been shown to be a scofflaw of the very laws he is in charge of enforcing. Say it isn't so! ====================== These gov jobs are all fixed, intentionally violating the law/s, or even being ignorant of them, is no barrier. I have said it a million times; cronyism and nepotism is the rule in gov employment. The government doesn't need to be competitive, so they can do this all day long and not fail.— April 4, 2010 10:38 p.m.

One thing that is very interesting about the States UI fund and EDD is that for every $1 that is paid out in benefits, it costs $5 in administrative costs. I always thought that with such a low return on investment, or pay out to the needy, the EDD was a poorly managed and poorly run system. It may be better to shut EDD down. I think most charities that take in donations require the majority to go to their cause to be considered legit. A charity that spends 80% of its donation on administrative costs would be considered a fraud. I do consider the amount of money EDD takes out in relation to what they take in as a fraud. I also think the State could shut down EDD and make UI benefits paid out automatically, no “for cause” denials.— April 4, 2010 10:34 p.m.
