Molina Accuses Officials of Inflating Their Pensions

Share via

Los Angeles County Supervisor Gloria Molina on Tuesday accused top county officials of inflating their pensions by including car allowances, fringe benefits and other items in calculating their retirement pay and called for an end to the practice.

“Many of these pension-spiking measures are not allowed in other government retirement systems,” she said in a motion that will come before the supervisors next week.

Molina, a frequent critic of county spending practices, proposed that supervisors exclude deferred compensation, deferred merit increases and car allowances from pension calculations. She also asked that the grand jury review the system used to calculate retirement pay as part of its audit of the county budget.
