Absolutely true - Emily Wagner was a true asset to our community. Thank you Emily for your years of service in guiding Pleasanton through the pitfalls of Cal Pers unfunded liabilites.

I also thank Emily for her work in helping to guide Pleasanton through difficult financial times. And I mean that. Unfortunately the pitfalls related to the CalPERS unfunded liability & the unfunded retiree health care liability, and the huge debt which still lingers, will be with us for decades.
That isn't on Emily. I think she did a great job.

Fire Chiefs, 2 of them diddouble dipping on their retirements. Bill Cody, who was a disaster for Pleasanton and now Torres, who will get a City of S. J. RETIREMENT and then once he has been Chief in Pleasanton for 5 years, get a state Calpers Retirement. Good work when you can get it. Rank and file don't get their lucrative deals. Management can.

@Lugnut: "now Torres, who will get a City of S. J. RETIREMENT and then once he has been Chief in Pleasanton for 5 years, get a state Calpers Retirement. Good work when you can get it. Rank and file don't get their lucrative deals. Management can."
Isn't any state worker vested into the Calpers retirement system after working for 5 years? As for Torres and whatever retirement pay he may be getting from San Jose, that's a matter between him and the city of San Jose. Why should that have any bearing on any employment contract between him and Pleasanton?
