We hadn't considered this:
- The Better Government Association (BGA) of Chicago does not know the difference between public employees and people who are on disability leave. Those on disability leave are not public employees. They are not on the city payroll or time clock. They are paid out of pension funds. They are civilians just like retirees.
That isn't a city check they are drawing, so the BGA's entire premise of "city time" or "city paycheck" is invalid? Does this hold water?
Go read the linked article. It's a retired CPD officer.
