This is a horrible program , but of course the mayor is in bed with the police and fire department unions .

The tax payers are getting ripped off and have been for years .

Keep in mind this idiot is planning to run for President in 2020 .

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- On Eyewitness Newsmakers, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti talked about fraud in the city's police and fire retirement program.

Speaking on Ask the Mayor, he said he wants to sit with the police and fire unions to discuss reported abuses of the Deferred Retirement Option Plan, the city's pre-retirement program, also referred to as "DROP."

To keep experienced personnel for five additional years, they can collect salary and a pension savings, almost doubling their salary. Reports that nearly half took sick leave, costing millions of dollars, has city officials calling for an investigation. The mayor said the plan still has merit and a fraud investigation was underway before suspected DROP abuses were reported.

in a article I read from back in 2011 Crapcetti was all for Drop then too. It was a election year and only one candidate was against it.


But never fear they are "investigating the fraud" and making sure it's a level input/output of money. Never mind the millions that have fraudulently been paid out so far. He just glossed over that minor detail.


I swear I don't know how you Angelenos can stand living there and seeing your city destroyed a little more every day.

Yeah I was going to post that in the L.A forum, but apparently issues like that affecting L.A aren't allowed to be posted anymore.

It's just amazing how much fraud and corruption there is in the city, but nobody even talks about it.

It's just good enough to say they are 'investigating' ...right. We all know nothing will change.

I was born in L.A and hate to see the what's going on politically. I have a little hope things might change , but it seems we will probably have to hit rock bottom. It's still amazing though how many people are oblivious to what is going on and just vote for anyone with a "D" by their name.
