Another City Hall Rumor
In the same place that words like "bankruptcy" are being whispered, this is also being discussed openly:
- Department proposes to City Hall that all command staff receive a $13,890 raise to create parity amongst the ranks. City Hall responds with the possibility of “non-paid furlough days” for all exempt ranks in 2026. Who would want to be a Commander!?!
How about cutting some costs instead? Maybe get rid of the gold braid pension since no one in a command spot actually passed a test to earn an inflated retirement benefit....and 95% never passed a promotional exam at any level.

This info is not a rumor but 100% true. This will definitely cause vacancies and retirements in the command staff level. I feel sorry for the young gold stars in their 40s who will lose out on salaries and benefits.
Way too many FTO’s. There’s almost 400, with a class slated for the fall.
FTO’s regularly go months without a PPO. That’s an easy place to start to slash the budget.
Here’s an idea since the # of personnel has dropped over 10% how about cutting 10% of the command staff.
So right get rid of the Gold Braid pension. The Gold Star Bosses don’t deserve it.
Less is more parity, yes?
Who would want to be a Commander?
Ego. Anyone with an uncontrollable ego. That’s it.
Lt/Capt? Invest your overtime $ wisely and hour vs hour with any Commander / Deputy Chief, and in the end, you’ll be way ahead.
That’s why I love being an Lt! I just sit in the WOL office and giggle at any gold star.
A whole lot less headache and stress, anything past my 8.5 and I’m dropping a slip, so a lot more money too.
I’m going to be comfortable enough when I retire, and sick of this department, I won’t need to be some Chief, Assistant Director, or Boss anywhere in OEMC, Dept of Trans, or some suburban department.
I try to take care of my Watch as best as I can, try to give enough Time Due to my Officers and Sgts as possible. I also try to finesse the paperwork enough to keep them out of bad beefs and lawsuits.
Gold Stars can’t (or just won’t) do that most of the time.
This is part of the reason I'm so cynical. The corrupt, incompetent and clouted are rewarded. And this shit will never end, ever. Out of state, but watch the (drunken democrat) Assistant AG of Rhode Island getting arrested. She demands they turn off bodycams and says 12 times she is the AG. And then goes on about not being mirandized when they just asked her to leave. She and her friend are dolts, but both have good jobs and the arrest won't stop their continued rise up the ladder of success. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bis9pgyIBUg
A comment on one of the more recent articles mentioned the TIF reserve hog trough, brimming with taxpayers monies.
This one wonders what might result were Trump to send Big Balls to do that Big Balls magic in the event of a basis to do so.
Too many commanders already.
Or, you could bring down the higher paid for parity too....
Didn't the City do Non Paid Furlough Days many many years ago. Don't recall which administration, it was that long ago but I'm pretty sure it was done across the board throughout the city of upper ranking city personnel. I believe it started as 2 days and then the next year it was 5 days. I could be wrong about the days.
This fucking city is OUT of Control!! Get rid of this useless Mayor and Aldercreatures already..City has Budget Deficit Woes and other problems and all they can think about is Raises?? WTF.
Like these Do-Nothings need a raise.
Way too much command staff to begin with
Most exempts are rats and thieves. Conniving bastards
