Well, it looks like phaster beat me to the punch (on a current thread) as to the conclusion of this extremely lengthy, colossally-expensive, go-nowhere litigation (as predicted lo-o-o-ong ago). Of course, City’s humongous legal tab was mainly picked up from Teeter Funds garnered from its property taxpayers (but likely not phaster to a large extent, due to his gigantic Prop 58 reduction in his property taxes … lol).
The 4th DCA-1 in San Diego now must fashion a remedy for all those city employees hired within a particular window who were involuntarily thrown into the ill-fated Prop B retirement tier, both vested and unvested! Was anyone here actually expecting a different outcome?
Um, phaster?? As I have posted here many times before, CA Government Code section 3500 et seq. is well-settled LAW in CA. Why on earth would SCOTUS bother to review this case?? They only agree to hear about 9% of cases brought to them.
As you may recall, the cities of Vallejo and San Bernardino filed for municipal bankruptcy in the fairly recent past and neither city was able to discharge their pension obligations made in good faith during employee collective bargaining under the MMBA (CA GC sec 3500 et seq). For reference, see:
https://www.perb.ca.gov/laws/mmba.aspx
https://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/milias-meyers-brown-act.html
phaster and all others here guilty of continually lambasting CA state and local government pensions must now accept the results of the CA Supreme Court decision to reverse the 4th DCA-1’s opinion and order it to decide how these thousands of affected City employees will be made whole.
March 19, 2019 at 7:17 PM #812146FlyerInHiGuestI wish Carl Di Maio had been elected mayor. Bearish would have become apoplectic.
There is a good chance that the more conservative Supreme Court would take the case.
I commend phaster on his consistent views about government debt. Intellectually honest!
March 20, 2019 at 1:41 AM #812149temeculaguyParticipantI think SCOTUS denied it today, thus the lower court ruling stands. BG referenced that, I think Phaster did to (kinda telling brian). On national issues a new case could come forward in the future, but this was a unique local case, thus the refusal upholding the lower courts ruling makes it case law. So there’s no hope scotus will ever take it since they only see retreads from other jurisdictions with different circumstances, even of slight. However your statement about the new conservative court taking the case would have given me a fantastic opportunity to take a wager from you but that would be about as unethical as betting on the superbowl an hour after it ended with someone who didn’t watch it. Age is a curse, 20 years ago I would have offered that bet.
March 20, 2019 at 7:04 PM #812155phasterParticipantTG
IMHO SCOTUS took a pass because how could they equitably address public pension problems which were caused by no talent ass clowns (translation shit for brains when it comes to applying middle school math concepts WRT managing a portfolio)
basically no one w/ access to the controls (of the local pension portfolio) has the balls or brains to fix what is akin to 737max software/hardware which was suppose to a stability augmentation system (or SAS for short)
anyway been discussing the two crashes w/ friends including a 777 driver and an ex minion of bill (gates),… and pointed out that other big company that is a neighbor of Microsoft has buggy blue screen of death software that fails when it encounters hardware configurations it did not expect and were not accounted for,… which unfortunately seems to be the cause of two aircraft to crashes
the parallel is given trends w/ the local public pension portfolio, seems an economic crash is inevitable,… I say this because this past January the UT did a front page story on the 13th pension check
http://www.TinyURL.com/13thcheck
but sadly the author missed reporting on “bad math?!” and the fact that the city of “bankrupt” Detroit, also had 13th pension check program,… coincidence?!
so tried to eMail the reported of the UT article outlining key ideas I think she should have included,… no response,… so contacted the UT readers representative who responded,…
Thank you for pointing this out and writing in. I’ll forward to the editor and reporter on this story.
[/quote]
as I see things,… the main stream news along w/ “fake leadership” ignoring the cluster fuck, only makes the makes the problem (and the various knock on effects) more difficult to fix
too bad there wasn’t a California voter proposition that mandated a uniform/warning-label be worn to clearly identify those at the controls (along with their partisans) so sheeple in SD understand the public pension debt obligations are self inflected wounds caused by DISHONEST and DUMB portfolio management
if it were up to me, I’d recommend a public pension portfolio stress test (kind of like what the fed does w/ too big to fail banks)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-are-the-feds-stress-tests-1529487001
but alas seems “cannabis equity” is a more pressing issue
[quote]
POT BUSINESS HELP FOR LOW-INCOME?San Diego Councilman Chris Ward plans to propose a “cannabis equity” program this spring that would aim to give low-income residents in neighborhoods affected by the war on drugs a leg up in opening marijuana businesses in the city.
…Bry, who was a high-tech entrepreneur before joining the council in 2016, said she’s researching how the city could legally encourage marijuana entrepreneurs to use the high-tech model when launching their businesses.
“It’s not fully baked,” she said. “I’m at the beginning of exploring it.”
…It would be illegal to have a cannabis equity program based on race or ethnicity, but programs based on income are legal under state law.
March 20, 2019 at 11:27 PM #812156temeculaguyParticipantI do not dispute any of your assertions phaster, just trying to correct brian’s comment where he said the conservative court will likely take the case. He was missing the point as to why there were recent posts because the news of the day was they already reviewed and declined to take up the case. As a follower of scotus but not the city’s pension I was trying to point out and give an analogy that brian’s comment was akin to saying that team X will lose the game because of y, when in fact the game ended an hour ago and they won. And as a younger man I would have challenged him with a wager, seeing that he was predicting the outcome of something that already happened and the result was the opposite of what he predicted.

FlyerInHi was really BrianSD before BrianSD got banned for threadjacking and threadcrapping just about non political thread with irrelevant political shit. It was one of the few times anyone got banned from an otherwise anything goes blog.
Not long after BrianSD was banned, FlyerInHi appeared, doing relatively the same thing, with though slightly more subtly. However, it really is the same person. The writing style, the subjects, they same political dribble….probably the same IP address. Old timers know FlyerInHi is really BrianSD, trying to fly right below radar to not get banned twice…That’s why, occasionally, you’ll see him dig up old threads that with the only purpose to stir things up by posting progressive versus non progressive thing, even when the majority of old timers who were only here for real estate and finance content have long gone. And then when someone calls BrianSD out for doing it, he will disappear for a few days, or make fake post about the economy or real estate just enough to remain under the radar for getting banned again for threadjacking and threadcrapping…although no old timer really posts here regularly to ellicit care from the site owner to ban BrianSD again….
You see, there are several political threads that really are about dialog. and there are the threads that BrianSD post that are meant more to troll….so much that even some moderate leaning people have told him to shut up. it’s not that there is really anything wrong with some progressive ideology or democrats or moderate social issues…But BrianSD, again for the purposes of trolling, intentionally adopts an altleft persona just to stir things up while being an extreme hypocrite at the same time .. That’s why , despite years of telling others that “we” should pay more taxes , and the government should regulate more, to the point we thought he was just vomitting from the mouth .. there was sort of a really hysterical moment when he posted on one thread about how he was pissed with neighbors who apparently filed a complaint with the HOA of one of his properties because apparently BrianSD was doing some remodeling without getting the required HOA approvals or building permits and was complaining about rules, regulations, and the hassle of doing thst…something BrianSD in his soapbox had been preaching all along …to which the rest of us were laughing our asses off thinking he sort of had that coming …Or there was the other instance when he went off a tangent about how people should pay more taxes to support the poor, less fortunate, and more social programs…and then not so long down the same thread of posts on that subject, a few of us got him to admit he use to buy stuff online with the specific purpose of avoiding paying sales tax…. These are the sort of classic BrianSD moments that are just golden. For every other moment there is a nice ignore button.
So for a lot of us old times, we know what he’s really doing. He feels he needs a forum to post his trolling alt left viewpoint, despite his own hypocrisy. Piggington is the perfect place for him to do it because literally it’s unmoderated. Thats why he continues to threadjack and threadcrap and start new threads on this sort of subject instead of doing this, say on Faux News blogs. He wants an audience and needs an audience so he can get on his extreme trolling alt-left soapbox without getting slapped in the face and banned like he has or would be on any other website. There is an excessive compulsive like addiction between alt-left post by BrianSD and this real estate website…just like some people are addicted to chocolate, and some people are addicted to porn… and others are alcoholics… same thing…
And that is why TG have said what the hell is going on here.. Because everyone remembers how this site was and who occupied just about every thread now… It has nothing to do with Trump or democrats, though the shear mention of Trump does have a tendency to polarize people immediately, which is an interesting thing. I guess it’s the same reaction some people get when they hear AOC, lol….(I hate both of them frankly, before you accuse me of being a Trump lover…but then again, I always believed America is great because politicians never know what they are doing so long as they can’t agree on how to waste our money, they tend to leave is alone. which is why as awful as some Republicans and Democrats are, you want a mix of both of them so neither of them can do anything drastic in our government, except very important things…..
There are other people that come here that specially post off tooics too. Phaster and BG(aka berishgurl) love to stir things up specially talking about public pensions. Phaster loves to post about pension crisis and doom and gloom government implosion.. I think he has his own blog previously about peak oil, and since that was proven to be a myth, I think he’s posting here trolling for eyeballs on his new subject flavor of the month…BG is enjoying living off a government pension and of course doesn’t want it to get taken away and so gets defensive when someone mentions pension reform. after all, there were some really nice beds in some of the government workplace bathrooms that she use to use regularly use while working, according to one of her posts…We wouldn’t want things like that to be cut because of a government budget crisis!
Any other question?

https://www.piggington.com/piggingtons_evoloutionwhen_will_housing_prices_become_discussion
Did brian start that one?
I tell you it is just like the bubble days with different sides and cliques, both of them believing what they choose. Except now it all centered around politics and Trump. Even when people say they don’t care about Trump they write about Trump.
I can understand why people are upset about Trump. He is after all the president and an embarrassment for the country. But for every person here that complains about Trump there is someone that complains about brian or some posters they do not like only because they are not on their side. And then they complain about derangement syndrome, lol. Maybe everyone has the same disease.
March 21, 2019 at 10:00 AM #812160FlyerInHiGuestYou are committing the fallacy of composition by assuming that what is good for the individual is good for the whole of society and vice versa. A college educated person with just basic education would understand.
Phaster is intellectually honest. He has the core belief that government debt is a problem and he’s sticking to it. Respect.
March 21, 2019 at 11:47 PM #812173temeculaguyParticipantYou see Astrid, that is why some of us think you might be Brian. You gave a heartfelt personal story that I thought might be credible to explain your weak street cred and track history. But your comment assuming I’m a troll is lost on the old timers, however it may be Brian’s latest incarnation to throw us off because even Brian wouldn’t call me a troll using the two names we know hm by.
What FLU refers to as old timers were a group of people with similar observations but differing opinions. Many of whom have shared the little ups and downs life throws at all of us, health, family, etc. I was proud to be a part of it. We were a community and I’m thinking of getting a MPGA hat, because I want to make piggington great again. I think the hat should be gray, because we don’t represent a political ideology, we were just geeks who figured out the great recession before it happened.
FLU, I’m glad to see you doing well. I absolutely loved your explanation. Flyer/brian/astrid may be the same person but that remains to be seen. Astrid might not be brian playing dumb, just someone who doesn’t remember or didn’t really retain what they read back in the day. But in the Immortal words of Omar, “you come at the king, you best not miss.”
Quotes from “the wire” are just coming naturally now, next I plan to to find my sense of humor again and then my reclamation will be complete. Thanks Astrid, I’m back to my old self.

You can’t write anything without talking about brian. Definitely derangement syndrome.
I do not think you are a troll. I remember your account from the old days because you were from Temecula and I was living in Lake Elsinore at that time. I do not think you are here now to talk about real estate though.
The one thing I remember about your posts from long ago is that you would write about how you used porn and were not ashamed of it. That was completely gross and still is. When I would go to the mall in Temecula I would wonder if the middle aged creepy porn watching guy was there also. In my mind there was an image of the creepy dad in front of the computer switching tabs between a real estate blog and porn sites. Icky!
Enjoy your street cred and the remainders of your old clique. I guess you think you are the king of something. You may still have a few lingering admirers. It is sad that you have to come here to find a place to belong.

name dropping typically isn’t my style, but FWIW WRT a financial stress test,…
[quote=phaster]
as I see things,… the main stream news along w/ “fake leadership” ignoring the cluster fuck, only makes the makes the problem (and the various knock on effects) more difficult to fix
too bad there wasn’t a California voter proposition that mandated a uniform/warning-label be worn to clearly identify those at the controls (along with their partisans) so sheeple in SD understand the public pension debt obligations are self inflected wounds caused by DISHONEST and DUMB portfolio management
if it were up to me, I’d recommend a public pension portfolio stress test (kind of like what the fed does w/ too big to fail banks)

but alas seems “cannabis equity” is a more pressing issue

POT BUSINESS HELP FOR LOW-INCOME?San Diego Councilman Chris Ward plans to propose a “cannabis equity” program this spring that would aim to give low-income residents in neighborhoods affected by the war on drugs a leg up in opening marijuana businesses in the city.
…Bry, who was a high-tech entrepreneur before joining the council in 2016, said she’s researching how the city could legally encourage marijuana entrepreneurs to use the high-tech model when launching their businesses.
“It’s not fully baked,” she said. “I’m at the beginning of exploring it.”
…It would be illegal to have a cannabis equity program based on race or ethnicity, but programs based on income are legal under state law.

[/quote][/quote]I’ve been in contact w/ the dude who called the OC bankruptcy back in the ’90s and asked him now that he is in CA state senate what his thoughts were on a financial stress test,… his gMail response a while back mentions stuff off balance sheet but auditors are looking
[quote=John Moorlach]
We’ve already tried a California Rule bill. No luck.
The retiree medical liabilities are now required to be on the Balance Sheets. We’re waiting for the CAFRs. I think this new requirement has really slowed down the auditors, as it’s near the end of February and they should have been completed by December.

so while the local ass clowns work on “cannabis equity” sadly it seems they are not spending time leaning lessons about happened to OC back in the 90’s

Lessons learned from 1994 county bankruptcyAt $2 billion, it was the largest municipal bankruptcy in American history up to that time. Orange County remains the nation’s third-largest bankruptcy, behind only the $4 billion bankruptcy of Jefferson County, Ala., in 2011 and the $20 billion bankruptcy of Detroit, Mich., in 2013.
…The treasurer and auditor-controller have significantly increased the transparency of information, and implemented additional protections for public funds and taxpayers. The treasurer now provides all investment reports, detailed investment information and TOC meeting agendas and minutes on the website. The auditor-controller’s auditing has become more aggressive to better protect the taxpayers. Orange County audit reports are now publicly issued to the press and as part of the board of supervisors meeting agenda. The audit findings must be responded to by the agency being audited (e.g., the treasurer). The auditor-controller’s office conducts regular follow-up audits until the concerns are resolved. Like the initial audits, the follow-up audits are also publicly issued to the press and as part of the board of supervisors meeting agenda.
The treasurer is the fiduciary protecting and safeguarding the people’s money, and the auditor-controller is the watchdog protecting the taxpayers of Orange County. Together, we are the county’s top financial officials, and we are constantly working to improve and protect the people’s finances.
