Retired Deputy Sheriff’s Illegals? - Pensions that is.

Retired Deputy Sheriff’s Illegals? - Pensions that is.
August 1, 2007 In a unanimous vote, the Orange County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday July 31, 2007 voted to look into the legality of pensions paid retired Sheriff’s deputies. The move could allow the sups to cut millions in pension costs and set a precedent that could be followed by local governments statewide.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.
