BP's moment of truth
It’s the moment we all (well maybe not ALL of us) have been waiting for. I finally received a copy of former Baldwin Park Police Chief Edward Lopez’ “Agreement of separation, severance and general release.”
In addition to his retirement benefits, he’s getting a big chunk o’ change from Baldwin Park: $70,000 — described as “an additional compensatory payment by means of severance as described in the contract and as settlement and release.”
The agreement goes on to say that the “severance payment” releases the city “from any and all claims, charges, complaints, contracts ....” ectera, you get the point.
Funny thing is, you may remember in an earlier post that Lopez’ contract clearly states he would receive six months severance if he were fired. But he wasn’t fired, according to city officials. Lopez retired.
Any conclusions anyone?
