Just so you can see what these worthless turds who run the OFD are being paid,
take a look here:

Looks as though their Black Chief is lazy, since she’s not booking the OT of her subordinates. I guess she’s to “involved” in “Black Issues” that have nothing to do with her job.
After an eight year vacuum of stories about the American Homeless, the loathsome Boston Globe couldn’t wait until Trump’s inuguration to suddenly print horrific stories about America’s homelessness crisis. LOL!
“The Oakland building inspectors are trying to keep up but they have to work around their 14 paid holidays, 5 weeks paid vacation, 2 weeks paid sick leave, paid family leave, bereavement leave, and that floating personal holiday.”
And let’s not leave out the FFs. I live over the hill in CoCo County. Here our FF’s are our highest paid public employees, save a half-dozen doctors who work at the county hospital (none of whose names you can pronounce). Even our County Administrator doesn’t come close to making what most of the FF’s do. The FF’s play the “OT Game,” which is “I call in sick, you work my shift for OT, then I return the favor and work yours for OT while you are “sick” (which usually means you are busy at your second job). I know one of our FF’s has a “side business” doing weed abatement (which is mandated by the FD). In our FD, FF’s, on $100k “basic salaries,” take home in excess of $250k. And all of these people get to retire with full pensions at 50, same for the cops. In the two municipal bankruptcies we’ve had (Vallejo and Stockton) even though the courts told these cities they could cut their PE pensions, they didn’t. So they will be back in bankruptcy in the not too distant future. And lest you Texans think this isn’t going to happen in your state, I direct your attention to the pension $hit that’s currently going on there. There is no immunity from this sort of government corruption. The RAT-run cities have made these faustian deals with the PE unions to use them to stay in office, but it’s going to come crashing down, and soon.
Lavishly paid, as in on the take to ignore violations?
There was an article a few days back about a retired fireman in LA getting $1,200,000 a year in retirement.
That’s $100,000 a month for retirement.
Scapegoat? I think the Mayor of Oakland should be a little more concerned about a raft of civil wrongful death lawsuits based on the city’s lack of action regarding major code violations that are surely coming. Dereliction of duty comes to mind.
