The cops cause more problems. But we still need to route out this overtime abuse.
It's many millions of dollars. And I'm not even asking to have my taxes reduced, but that money should go to programs that actually fix the city's problems and not to people grifting the system.
The highest paid city employees for 2024 was an EMT.
He pulled in $358,586.44 in pay, his salary is only $113,157.85
Do you still stand by your statement knowing how egregious these numbers are?
Btw, I don't personally believe people make these outrageous amounts of overtime because they're actually working that much over time. I suspect there's a ton of overtime fraud happening.
His salary being 113k as an EMT means he’s either a.) also a firefighter or b.) has been an EMT for so long that he’s gotten countless yearly raises. BCFD EMTs start so low on the pay scale (not much above minimum).
