Truce is over
Things have been tough for cops in bankrupt San Bernadino, California for quite some time.
The San Bernadino (CA) Police Officer Association’s nearly yearlong truce with the city is over, the union’s attorney said Wednesday in a filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. And so it’s asking for two actions — one to move along a case they say is languishing in court, the other as a “counterpunch” against a city they allege “pulled the rug out” in the disputed breakdown of a tentative contract agreement. Noting that the city’s bankruptcy case is now in its third year and has cost city taxpayers more than $6.5 million, attorney Ron Oliner writes that the city has “steadfastly refused” to answer when it would present a plan of adjustment, the plan to exit bankruptcy. And so the court should order a deadline by which the city must present that plan, he says.
