Mayor Jerry Sanders
Amazing that no one cares that we have a Fire Dept that isn't accredited by the state because the mayors office plays the numbers games and continues to mislead the public...Funny how the Police Dept can be down 232 sworn officers positions and are understaffed and the mayor along with the police chief eliminates those positions and now call it 100% staffed....Sanders is jeopardizing your safety and you have blinders on San Diego. Funny how you think City employees are over paid when they haven't had a pay raise in 5 years. Even funnier how Sanders thinks hes saving you money by laying off employees who 1/2 as much money as sworn officers & detective and they call it cost effective. Remember this when your in a car accident or a gang member steals your purse and you call 9-1-1 for a cop and one doesn't show up because they are now tied up picking up a found bike or taking a petty theft report that laid off civilians took before.....The fecal matter will hit the fan after Sanders leaves offices at least thats what hes hoping...Tell me will it take an officer being killed like back in the late 1970's to early 80's. Sad that no one thinks Sanders is an over paid city employee when he's double dipping into the city funds taking a police chief and mayors salary making over $300,000 a year....When will you all learn he's not a knight in shining armour...just another ARROGANT polititian!!!!!— February 12, 2010 5:03 a.m.
It's All About The Money!
Bravo Dave Magown...you hit the nail on the head...Jerry Sanders is a corrupt politician....his campaign promise of not receiving a paycheck was a lie..he's double dipping taking his ex-police chief salary along with a full mayors salary and now he and city counsel want an additional 15% payraise while laying off city employees....these politians have the citizen of San Diego fooled...or is it the citizens fail to really educate themselves as to whats really happening....or is they don't want to know the truth....the truth is city employees haven't had a pay raise in 5 years...current employees are forced to take 52 hrs of work furlough time along with a 6% pay cut...the truth is..city employees do not get great retirement benefits....some 35 years ago..they city decided it didn't want to pay into social security or medicare for its employees...the city opted out agreeing witht he federal government to supply a retirement plan and health care for it's employees. Unlike the general public that get to collect social security and medicare at age 65...city employees do not....again because the city made that decision...not the employees...the employees had no choice. CITIZEN PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF TO THE TRUTH!!!!! GOD BLESS— February 11, 2010 10:07 p.m.
