Mayor announces three appointments

It will be sad to see Mr. Doug leave the office!

Good for Debbie. She has always been pretty well squared away.

So I see all former LPD Officers are getting new glocks issued to tbem at spring firearms. Good deal since the guns are 16 years old...

Heard Gentrey will be new head of newly created violent crime reduction position mayor created and Burbrink will take her spot on dept.

Gentry has the job. Wait and see.

Same old bunch taking care of the same old bunch. Just making sure they have do nothing jobs making big salaries. This whole administration needs to go including the mayor. This city needs new blood from top to bottom if it ever wants to get out of the botttom of the barrel. They can't find money for a contract but sure as HE%l can find money to create positions with BIG salaries. This place is a joke, but nobody is laughing except the cronies at the top.

Closing in on the 10 year anniversary of Merger! Time flys!!!

If we take a zero, zero, 4, 4 we are really dumb. A 2, 2, 2, & 2 is much better. I am providing a break down based on $50,000 yearly salary. I realize some make less than $50,000 but it is an easy number to work with. This also does not include KLEFPF or step pay increases.

0, 0, 4, 4

Year 1: $50,000 - no raise / no back pay

Year 2: $50,000 - no raise / no back pay

Year 3: $52,000

Year 4: $54,080

This amounts to a 4 year salary TOTAL of $206,080.

2, 2, 2, & 2

Year 1: $51,000 - You will get $1,000 back pay

Year 2: $52,020 - You will get another $1,020 in pack pay for a total of $2,020.

Year 3: $53,060.40

Year 4: $54121.61

This amounts to a 4 year salary total of $210,202. That is a difference of $4,122. We need the back pay. It compounds the yearly totals of the following years. If we take a Zero anywhere we are really, really, really, really dumb.

This is another way to look at it based on a 20 year career and it actually sounds quite appetizing but it really sucks dix.

I will pay you $30,000 a year for 19 years. You must take a zero percent raise all of your first 19 years. Then on your 20th year (since you are retiring and I love you - NOT) I will give you a 150% raise. Sounds good but I really just fucked you in the *** really really hard and I'm the only one that liked it. 20 years at $30,000 with zero raise and then the hefty catch up equals $645,000. 20 years with 2% every year compounded yearly equals $728,921.06. If you like the catch up plan like the City wants you to, then you just got fucked out of $86,921.06 over your 20 year career. Don't be a stooge and fall for the numbers game. VOTE NO if it sux dix. Worst that can happen is insurance stays the same price and eventually we will *** them like the fireman did. If there is a ZERO ANYWHERE, tell them to SUK IT!!!

Please feel free to post the last two postings in any Division. Thanks

Maybe I should have been an accountant cause the City hates its cops.

if you see what ems and correction took.....it had a zero and cut thousands in OT. I posted "contract" and have been around over 23 years... I know we will be offered a zero and we will take it cause we are weak. Not many large cities take 18 plus months to get a contract for police...usually 2-4 months Tops.....our government is a JOKE and we take it...just like being the lowest paid dept of our size in the USA.... We are dumb and take.... trust me we willlllllll approve a zero or two.
