ParticipantSan Diego has the same issue with its firefighters and police. They are by far the highest paid employees for the city of San Diego http://www.10newsblogs.com/pdf/earnings.pdf, and they are crying for raises every year with the politicians rarely saying no.
Sanders is willing to cut back on non public safety pensions and say no to non public safety raises. There must not be any money for a 4% raise for street workers, after the firefighters got 20% raises over a 4 year period. They got a 13% raise 3 ago and just got a 6% raise. Only the police have gotten a raise since the 13% raise, and the firefighters were all over the news saying they deserve a raise too.
I guess it is more important to have guys to clean fire trucks, than roads to drive them on, or working water lines to hook their hoses to.
This city has a crumbling infrastructure that needs to be addressed, but the police and fire unions take all the money first. All that money and they cannot fight wildfires, because their approach is all wrong. Firefighters will never be able to stop a wind driven wildfire. It is all about proper fire codes, and proper enforcement of fire codes.

ParticipantYes, and AOL bought Time Warner. There are more houses that need to be sold, but the system just can’t handle them. When I go for runs, I see several vacant houses with dead lawns and weeds in the driveway.
If you want to see what the market is like in a neighborhood, buy a pair of running shoes and use them. You will quickly see what is happening in a neighborhood. I can tell which houses are coming onto the market a few months before the for sell sign is up. And I can tell you, there are several houses waiting for signs over all my running routes.

ParticipantThe same reason KPMG signed off on New Century, money. You don’t get paid if they can’t sell their junk bonds, or if the company’s audit commity don’t hire you next year.
The SEC and FBI should be all over the news with arrests and investigations, but the system is totally broken.
