Before you guys jump to so many conclusions, I recommend you look at the positions held on Demaio’s 100K list. About 98% of them are fire and police. Want to cut these salaries? Go ahead. But don’t condemn all non-fire and non-police city employees. Many of the workers standing hip deep in sewage in a hole in the middle of your street are making about $15/hour. Focus on the police and fire unions for scaring everyone into giving their employees high wages and tons of overtime. And those gold plated pensions? I’m a retired city employee (not police or fire) and I’m getting about 55% of my former salary as my pension. I am quite familiar with the situation in the city, and all the lies spread by the media in San Diego.
