This is a great question. After last night's Torrance Police Officers Association forum, it is clear that this will be a tight race. I am happy to say that all candidates seem to be on the same page as to what they are looking for Torrance's future. I may have to disagree with them when asked if they would ever touch pensions, and all the answers were NO. I personally think the answers should have been, that they will do whatever it takes to keep Torrance out of bankruptcy. That is the best way to protect the jobs that are there, don't over spend to the point the city has to file Chapter 7 to get out of over budget promises. I also want out city employees happy and all but the people of Torrance deserve an administration that is going to fix the $200 plus million dollar pension debt. The ideas that were thrown on the table were not acceptable to me as they would take money from new employees to pay for the old contracts. That is just not acceptable.
