This is the same guy who gave huge pay and benefit increases to both leadership and rank and file members of the LAPD, which were very popular in the years after the 1992 riot. Now, twenty years later those decisions have to be paid on and all Mayor Dick can tell folks is "that was then and this is now". Such pompous hypocrisy from the man who proposed giving up millions of dollars of potential municipal tax revenue to billionaire cronies to further profit from their hyperdevelopment schemes, the same paradigm religiously adhered to by the Villaraigose regime that has been so assiduously criticized in this blog.<br /><br />Furthermore, Riordan's 401(k) scheme will actually further bankrupt the pensions of present employees and retirees by withdrawing the revenue stream from the future hires that would be used to pay the benefits contractually due to those presently enrolled in the city's retirement system.<br /><br />Let Mayor Dick go back to what he does best, like ruining respected local restaurants like Mort's Deli and please stop trying to steer a whole city into the ditch.
