Commission Chairman Joe Sanchez announced today a landmark financial reform legislative package that he will bring before the City Commission meeting on September 24.It will include the elimination of pensions for all future elected officials, require that all collective bargaining agreements be reviewed by the City's Finance Committee prior to submission to the Commission for approval; prohibit executive employees from joining the costly general employees' pension system and he wants to take away the ability of non-union employees to cash out unused leave for huge payouts.
101 police officers are being let go and at the same Commission meeting on the 24th, they will be picketing and asking for Mayor Manny Diaz to give up his own $100,000 per year pension for only eight years of service, where it takes a police officer a minimum of 20 years of putting his life on the line to get the same.
The September 24 Commission meeting should be interesting.
