SF Chronicle 4/27/10 - SF government
worker/SFPD
salaries (and
overtime earned). Note the below top
four SFPD earners. Officer Keohane ranking
no. one, retired last year and now earns 90%
of his last three years' annual salaries,
paid for by us taxpayers our of the city
coffers for every single year that he lives.
San Franciscans earn only about $47,000 on
an average per year. Note Ingleside Captain
Cassenego falls 43d in ranking, and earned
$80,000 in overtime last year plus a salary
of $236,597. The SFPD officer who shepherds
applications for new Patrol Special officers
(from the office who has lost applications
over the years, and taken 1 to 17 years to
process them), earned $147,660 plus $12,548
in 2009. Should overtime be
abolished? Should the entire off duty
SFPD policing program known as "10b" be
abolished, and the need fill with incredibly
reasonably priced Patrol Specials?
