Retired Santa Ana city workers often make over six figures a year!

Pensions are stand alone entities, the city, counties and state should spin them off to the PGF.

Then they can start fresh or join Social Security.

Since the PFG fund only pays out a MAX of 65k a year to pensioner’s, that would go a long way to cancel out the unfunded liability.

Just think, those in the 100k plus club would get pensions they earned without the GAMED Theft.

Now this is “unselfishly retiring”,
maybe we can challenge some of these priveleged retirees to do the same for the city they exploited:

# 5, Older than,

good points.

Well- rich is not the word- what I think Admin/Art means is

for doing nothing?? that’s rich
we all now that 100 + doesn’t buy much.

A good post would be to compare and contrast an older post–if I remember correctly,
regarding OC Sheriff Dept. Retirees- now that would be thee Post of the Year!

Maybe OJ staff -Red Vixen is a good and resourceful researcher- will dig that up for us???

How much do you want to bet that Dave Ream will get a Mega Spike to his pay on the way out the door? I’d like to see a list of S.A. employees getting $80,000 or more which is still a crazy amount. Don’t forget they get full medical too.

Jill Arthur will get spiked as long and as high as she desires.

As far as the “full medical “(log#8) – in reality to max’s out at $400.00 per month for medical premimums. Above that the city retiree pays out of the pocket- & not all get this!! ,just 20+yrs employees who most often have NO soc sec / medi-cal- ect. > Yes its unfair in comparison that many managers can triple dip… ie: military penson+county/city+soc.sec. – but remember what the police/fire unions get in contract negotions – Management often does a “me-too” clause.& remember all contracts must be approved by the city council.

Outrageous!

Amazing, you guys want quality services but all you do is cry over salaries and benefits from those you hire. Six figures and a nice retirement package?? Big deal!! Practically every CEO and Executive in the private sector are making six figure PLUS millions in stock options and bonuses.

You’re an idiot!! You don’t know what you’re talking about. You know what most CEOs and top executives do all day? (I shouldn’t have asked, obvious answer is NO) They spend much of their time in meetings, on the phone, signing papers, playing golf, chasing women, drinking coffee and surfing the internet… and they would laugh in your face if you want to pay them six figures, unless it’s a six figure base salary PLUS a ten million dollar guaranteed bonus.

“I hope more city employees get fired before we reach the end of this little economic downturn.”

Make sure you say that the next time you call a cop or your house burns to the ground. Dude, you’re bitter and likely unemployed. Here’s a suggestion, focus on finding yourself a job instead of wishing others lose theirs just to make yourself feel better. It won’t last.
