Deborah Linden, the San Luis Obispo police chief will retire in December after nine years on the job. Linden, 49,

She earns $160,394 in salary and an additional $73,821 in benefits, such as retirement and health care. Wow that is amazing to make that kind of money on a town that is broke. She is leaving just in the middle of meassure A & B to repeal on mandatory binding arbitration and pension reform. Yet $160,000.00 a year for life and she is only 49 years old. That's nothing, how many people are making minimum wage that are over 70 years old with no pension that can't even think about retiring at all? Take a guess Doborah. Mandatory binding arbitration is unfair and wrecking the citys budget and chief Deborah Linden leaving and wanting her pension as if she was not already making $233,883.00 a year, didn't she save her money and to walk away with $160,000.00 a year. Her she drove around all the trailer parks in San Luis Obispo and seen how many people are living on low fix incomes? Probably not but so, do you think she cares if an older couple making $15,000.00 a year pension on an old trailer without a single dollar more in their 70's? The recession crisis is bad from these people stealing Cities and the State of California with their greedy pensions and it is terrible as many leave the State or leave the Cities paying their pension contributing nothing back. Se didn't even liv ein San Luis Obispo anyway, so what good it is to pay her pension? An outside arbitrator -- someone who doesnt live here, doesnt know us and is not accountable to SLO voters -- has arbitrarily decided SLO police officers should be given a 30% pay raise. Its costing $2.5 million annually that the city doesnt have, forcing the City Council to cut vital services. This is arbitrary and capricious, and thoroughly unfair which Chief Deborah Linden is a part of this problem and the financial crisis the the City and the state is in she is leaving with this big fat pension. Shame on you Chief Deborah Linden, California and San Luis Obispo are broke and your out thinking about yourself and walking away with money that should be part of San Luis Obispo. Shame on you
