Mayor's Paycheck

We asked about Mayor Sanders accepting his full salary and pension.


Nobody in this city works harder for this guy. All the folks belly aching about double dipping would be right there collecting both checks. Stop the hypocracy. -- Dale

Give Jerry Sanders a break. His first term he took nickels on the dollar. He is working harder than any other city official. He already earned his police retirement. He is now earning his mayoral salary. GET OFF HIS BACK! -- Kati

I Feel as though the Mayor should be paid for his services. Being the mayor is very time consuming not to mention the responsibility he assumes. I don't feel anyone should be expected to perform such a time consuming job without pay. I know I would never want to assume such a large task without any monetary reward. I'm sure no one else would have served even the first term without any pay. The Mayor is doing a good job managing this city and he should be rewarded for his services. He like many others served his time as sheriff, and taken on another job at the end of his term. It's apparent others want someone else to do things that they would not even consider doing. -- John

I do think that Mayor Jerry Sanders is a hypocrite! He should have disclosed the fact that he is receiving both retirements and he should have let the voters know that he had changed his mind after his first term. I'm sorry that I voted for him twice!! -- Christy

Mayor Sanders, As a general statement I think he should be able to draw both, because he earned thm both, but if he used it as a campaign item, then it just adds another thing on how how was put into office under suspicious circumstances., but that has been how lots of things go on in this fair city. -- James

I believe Mayor Sanders definitely deserves to receive his retirement as well as the pay for being the mayor of San Diego. The campaign of not receiving pay was for his first term and as dlong as it was not part of the campain for the second term, it had nothing to do with the re-election, therefore should not be held against him in any way. -- Shanikah

This is outrageous if he does because our city is running outta of money and California is trying to find reasons to get more money. Everything now is getting taxed.We can save hundreds of thousands a year if he doesn't get his sallery. -- Bob

Well now as a city employee all of you that thinks it's ok for your Mayor to "Double Dip" don't *** about my retirement and the wages I earn. I work dam hard at what I do but you all like to *** that we are over paid. Your Mayor ( I live in the county and don't get to vote for your Mayor) should practice what he preaches. He wants to cut your services tell him to cut his staff by the same %. He is a sneaky, lying, Politician and just think he use to be your Top Cop. He sure knows how to hide the truth. Makes you wonder what else is he hiding? Gee Jerry were you this deceitful as a Cop?

Sanders is a political hack creating truth. Remember when he was opposed to gay marriage?

You folks think you have it bad in beautiful San Diego, well the state of Washington is the worst state for political corruption in have ever lived in and Seattle is one of the worst cities.
I would return to my home of San Diego any day but sorry to say not able to for many reason mostly health and that is funny because my wife and I both need and want a warmer climate and this state makes me sick.
Remember that no place is perfect and there will always be bad people in office but Seattle and the state of Wash. wrote the book on being corrupt in office and running the state into the ground.
