Retired Deputy Sheriff’s Illegals? - Pensions that is.
August
1,
2007
Not surprising, Sheriff Mike Carona and union representatives opposed the supervisor’s move, arguing the benefits are not only legal, but supervisors had a moral responsibility to uphold a commitment made to deputies.
Critics have charged the OCBS’s move as being politically motivated, citing OCBS president Moorlach's proposal to create an oversight board for the Sheriff’s Department, and Moorlach’s election to the board last year opposed by a union-backed candidate. However, supervisor Pat Bates beat out Cassie Young, due in part to union-backing.
