It's a scientific fact: Attempt to comprehend the fetid relationship between pensions and politics in this city and a substance resembling guacamole will begin oozing from your ears. Finally, a tangible reason not to wear white after Labor Day.
Be that as it may, billions of dollars of city money are at stake depending on what direction voters go in November. So it's worth examining the most recent dust-up between proponents of Jeff Adachi's Proposition D and the known political universe pushing Prop. C, “The City Plan.”
Per the police and fire unions, Adachi's most recent campaign fliers and political messaging negate the $28 million in givebacks safety workers agreed to in July. Adachi is claiming these so-called givebacks could, in fact, cost the city $61 million.
Well, they're both right.
