Why don’t you tell us all about it, after you see it? (No trip to LA is complete without a stop at Phillipes–Alameda and Ord.)

Why are you calling it Smell A? Because the homeless use certain places for their urinals? It makes me very sad for those that are in that situation. If you navigate to the right areas, you can avoid it.

I went to a pension seminar at the Reagan Building once, and it was very pleasant and nice. It is on the list of buildings to be sold–I hope it does not happen.

In a jury trial if the defanant is found not guilt that cannot be appealed, but other than that anyone can appeal.

Thanks for the case #:

I typed in, “Second District Court of Appeal”, and clicked on, “Calendar”. Then I typed in the case number, which is BC389758. It is scheduled to be heard at 9:00 a.m., Wednesday. I do not know where that Court is located.

Since you are so smart, perhaps you could answer a question I have about the appeal process. I always thought that only the defendant could appeal a court verdict. The Deputies are the defendants. If Moorlach, being the plaintiff, should lose, how could he appeal further to the CA Supreme Court?

The appeals court usually issues a written ruling, most of the time without any oral argument.

If Moorlach should lose, he should quit his charade right now. I respect the opinions of Jerry Brown. He is a puppet of no-one.

A judge ruled at the trial court level that Moorlach was wrong. One judge, out of thousands in this state.

The case is now at the court of appeals. I do not know the status of it, or when a ruling will be issued. But once again the court of appeals is just a panel of 3 judges out of thousands in the state.

The ONLY ruling that counts is the LAST ruling, from the CA Supreme Court. Nothing else matters, and it makes no difference how the lower courts rule-this case will be decided by the CA Supreme Court and their ruling is the only one that counts.

You have just decided to believe the contracts are illegal, without studying any supporting information. There is also an Amicus Brief from the Moorlach side. I have read that Brief too. What if your side loses when the case goes to trial in a couple days? Are you then going to continue charging that the pension contracts are illegal?

California taxpayers only pay 15% to 20% of pensions.
=============
Actually the employees only pay 5%-at most, many employees pay zero.

The other 95%-100% is from taxpayers.

===================
Jerry Brown is a public employee union puppet, you cannot seriously think his amicus brief is legit.
