Though I don't know if I'll become a Giants fan if I move to Silicon Valley The number of San Francisco retirees or their survivors knocking back $100,000 or more a year in city pensions has grown to 709. That's 229 more than last year. It's also 124 more than for all of Los Angeles - a city with more than four times San Francisco's population - according to figures freshly provided to the California Foundation for Fiscal Responsibility, a pension reform group. Those in San Francisco who have earned a ride on the golden highway include six former police chiefs, four former fire chiefs or their widows and a slew of former department heads. The highest pension - $242,000 - goes to former Police Chief Earl Sanders. He got a $20,000 bump this year, thanks to a cost-of-living increase. Makes me think about this great show (ok, it wasn't that great, but it's memorable): Oh how I miss the 90's.
