Mayor and City Council get a 15% raise

[quote=j]Fact check, police got a raise in 2007. http://legacy.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20070411/news_1m11pay.html

Most of that was taken back, but that is because there is NO money.

The fools in office do not deserve a raise, but I think the panel is hopping to get qualified candidates to run in the future.

40% of city firefighters make more than the mayor.[/quote]

I did say they got a raise eventually. The last time before that when they got a raise was like before 2000. I want to say like in the 1990’s sometime. That’s when there was negotiation and the City said in lieu of raise, they’d put more money in the pension, which they didn’t do.

So in the end, that equates to the last time they got a raise was before the pension deal, which means no raise until 2007 when they got 9%, which may seem like a lot, but hardly makes up for all the years they didn’t get a raise while they were tricked into thinking the extra money was going into the pension. They got screwed.

I know there’s always the issue about firefighters and/or police and how much they make, but so much of that is years in service and overtime. Seriously, those guys make their job their life and career and many times their lives even get cut short. So the pension for life is sometimes a shorter one.

No, the police got a raise in 2004. http://www.voiceofsandiego.org/this_just_in/article_c86350e0-f8a8-5156-8654-2cd99324bc7f.html

Look there is no money for raises period. It does not matter if you are police or an incompetent elected official. The study for the raises probably just compared like jobs and cost of living for the area. News flash people in San Diego make less money based on cost of living.

Every pay study will show that people in San Diego need pay raise rather you are a cop, incompetent elected official, or a dishwasher, but it does not mean that raises are coming.

[quote]With the unemployment rate over %12 in Klownifornia, exactly where in the private sector are these people highly sought after?[/quote]

The unemployment rate is over 12% for people without college degrees. December ’09 (nationwide) unemployment rate for people with bachelors’ degrees was 4.7%.

Everyone’s ire is understandable, but, with the city economy as bad as it is, last thing we need is incompetent leadership. And that’s what we’ll get if we try to squeeze their salaries. I’m sure that Sanders has enough connections that he can quit his job any day and jump directly into a higher management position of some private company, on a 200k+ salary.
