Uhh, phaster?? You’ve been straying off the subject here, as usual. This thread is about SDCERS/Prop B.
Why don’t you create your own Libertarian blog where, as the moderator, you can rant all you want through your ultra-repetitive, cut-and-paste diatribes with ridiculous cartoons which nobody reads?? As an interesting social experiment that YOU’LL be paying for, you will surely be able to gauge how much traffic you generate to your blog over time.
Now, back to the OP. Of COURSE, the CA Supreme Court denied City’s Petition for Rehearing on 10/10/18. The 4th DCA (Div 1 – SD) issued its remittitur on 10/12/18 and the Supreme Court received its copy of it on 10/22/18.
How did this happen, you ask? Um, well, because the MMBA (CA Gov Code section 3500 et seq) is well-settled law which has been in place since the 1960’s. DUH! City WELL KNEW all of this but instead arrogantly elected to waste millions of your taxpayer funds on this go-nowhere litigation, including the fees of at least five attorney firms of their opponents that they have now been ordered to pay back PLUS three outside attorney firms for themselves over the years cuz their own “in-house attorneys” had a blatant conflict of interest (the [DCAA] Deputy City Attorney’s Association was one of the charging parties in the underlying ULP charge which had a decision from its [proper] tribunal which became the entire basis for this ill-fated case, lol). In other words, folks, the wheel was invented long ago to address this issue and it’s called “Meet and Confer.”
After five years and eight months, its GAME OVER for SD. Among other thorny actuarial calculations they will be forced to hire expensive consultants to make, they are now forced to figure out how to UNDO their pension takeaways for their newer employees who were not yet vested in SDCERS as of about June 30, 2012. What a mess! It’s time to put their heads together and come up with a PLAN to make their affected employees whole again. I will surmise that none of your elected or appointed “officials” have any idea how to fix these problems they created without a lot of outside help (more $$$$$ off SD taxpayer’s backs).
