3rdnlng Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/la-firefighter-banked-dollar360010-in-overtime-pay-in-one-year-city-audit-finds/ar-AAJY0GD?li=BBnbfcL&ocid=HPDHP17 Eighteen employees of the Los Angeles Fire Department earned more than $200,000 in overtime pay last fiscal year, with one firefighter making $360,010 in overtime alone, according to an audit released Wednesday by City Controller Ron Galperin. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ LAFD spokesman Peter Sanders didn’t provide details about the firefighter who made more than $360,000 last fiscal year, but said that the department relies on overtime as part of its “constant staffing” model. Sanders also noted that state and federal governments “almost entirely” reimburse LAFD for fighting wildfires. The audit also found that overtime has increased at the city’s sanitation department, rising $2 million year over year since fiscal 2014-15. Most of the workers receiving overtime last fiscal year were garbage truck operators, the audit found. Overall, overtime increased by about 1% over the last five years, to 10.9% of the city’s payroll this year. Labor agreements, deployment practices and scheduling policies all affect overtime pay, the audit found. The audit recommends “exploring other employment models” to reduce overtime and suggests that department heads should monitor individual employees who rack up a lot of overtime. The audit also suggests city leaders limit overtime hours per shift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Francisco's new DA pledges not to prosecute public urination, other quality-of-life-crimes By Louis Casiano | Fox News San Francisco's newly elected district attorney has promised not to prosecute public urination and other quality-of-life crimes that have plagued the lucrative Bay Area amid a crippling homelessness crisis affecting urban communities across California. In response to an American Civil Liberties Union questionnaire reported by The San Francisco Chronicle last month, Chesa Boudin said such crimes should not be prosecuted. "We will not prosecute cases involving quality-of-life crimes," he said. "Crimes such as public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc., should not and will not be prosecuted. Many of these crimes are still being prosecuted; we have a long way to go to decriminalize poverty and homelessness.” https://www.foxnews.com/politics/san-franciscos-newly-elected-da-pledges-not-to-prosecute-public-urination-other-quality-of-life-crimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(San Fran is *****.) Son of Convicted Weather Underground Cop Killers, Raised by Ayers and Dohrn, Elected DA in San Francisco The son of Weather Underground domestic terrorists convicted of felony murder for their role in the Brinks armored car robbery in 1981, has won a tightly contested race for district attorney in San Francisco. Chesa Boudin won after campaigning to reform the the criminal justice system in a city already known for having a very liberal criminal justice system. In October of 1981, Boudin’s parents, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, joined other members of the Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army to rob a Brink’s armored car at the Nanuet Mall, in Nanuet, New York. While in the process of stealing $1.6 million from the armored car, the self-professed revolutionaries killed Sgt. Edward Grady, Officer Waverly “Chipper” Brown, and Brinks guard Peter Paige, as well as wounded Paige’s partner Joseph Trombino. </snip> Chesa Boudin, a toddler at the time of the Brinks robbery, was adopted by Weather Underground terrorist leaders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn and spent his childhood years in Chicago before studying law at Yale University. Before coming to San Francisco, Boudin, a fellow socialist, worked as a translator for Venezuela’s late President Hugo Chavez. </snip> 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Ruling.A California law that sought to require candidates to publish tax records in order to appear on the ballot has been ruled unconstitutional by the state’s Supreme Court Thursday. The “Presidential Tax Transparency and Accountability Act,” which was signed by California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom in July, required candidates running for president or governor in the state to hand over the five most recent years of tax returns to the California secretary of state to qualify for the ballot. The California Supreme Court unanimously struck down the law Thursday ruling it a direct violation of the state constitution which mandates the state government to operate an “open presidential primary whereby the candidates on the ballot are those found by the secretary of state to be recognized candidates throughout the nation or throughout California.” The state’s highest court found that the new legislation passed by Democrats flew “in conflict with the [state] constitution’s specification of an inclusive open presidential primary ballot.” </snip> 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can keep all the money, I just want the surreality. I worked in a French restaurant in the early 80’s in LA when foie gras was banned before. The owner had lobes of foie gras smuggled in crates of wine. It was a hang out for Hollywood movers and shakers and we’d serve it to special guests. It was cool. Like working in a speakeasy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
