"Owyang, the senior deputy sheriff with the highest overtime pay, logged more than 3,300 overtime hours over the year, meaning he worked an average of 63 overtime hours per week. Two other deputies, Barry Bloom and Kristian DeJesus, also worked more than 3,000 overtime hours."
Excuse my French, but how is this not blatant fraud? A deputy sheriff working an average of 103 (40+63) hours a week? To do what, exactly, maybe check that no one gets arrested when a department store is looted?
Where are the auditors who are supposed to check these embarrassing embezzlements of public funds?
I am appalled that my taxes are being used to make these individuals live their best lives.

- dc3k 3y agoI wouldn't really call working an average of nearly 15 hours a day, 7 days a week, living their best lives. I would argue that that is actually a really shit way to live your life.
- borroka 3y agoI guess you think they are actually working 103 hours per week. I have a bridge to sell, in case you are interested.
