That’s just weird — although I did see some of the campaign lit in question there, and it did not mention closing down the FPD.

One thing going for the OCSD — slower response time to Fullerton means that they’re less likely to have to interact with criminals, who are likely to be already gone.

Last paragraph is weird. I never denied that. I was referring to future pension obligations, as are you in your second paragraph.

If the supposed problem is bloated management, why not negotiate an end to management bloat in the next contract?

Oh, I know — it won’t work unless Fullerton can threaten to go with the OCSD if the FPOA doesn’t go along, right? Too bad that the Sheriff’s Deputies rep said tonight that they’re not interested.

If it’s management bloat that’s the problem, then focus the discussion on management bloat, naming names as to what positions warrant elimination. Much easier than the nonsense.

I’ve never talked to the FPOA about donations to the Quirk campaign (or my own.) I’ve made clear, I think, what I DO care about with respect to FPD: good and effective policing respectful of civil rights and liberties.
