Public corruption is nothing new, however the thing that stuck out from this entire article was this line:

Bathon also lost a public pension that might have been worth as much as $2 million.

You have to be kidding me. This guy is an elected COUNTY TREASURER. There is no rational reason that anyone in this position should be eligible for a 2 million dollar public pension. Absolutely disgusting.

Well, here in Northern California we have had two fire chiefs retire ( one right after the other, 2 years apart) when they reached “their mandated retirement age of 50.” You do the math. If they (and their spouses) live to be 80 (which is a good bet with the gold plated health care they all get) and their retirements starting above $250,000 per year, two million happens in eight years for each of them and they may still have another 22 to go, or at least their wives will. Firefighters: “we eat till we’re sleepy, then sleep till we’re hungry” (and the taxpayers pick up our food tab).
