John Moolach’s massive compensation package was worth a total of $237,000. That’s what it was worth by the end of his term(s).

Pat Bates (you know, that RINO) and Shawn Nelson (Yes, that Shawn Nelson) REFUSED retirement payments by OC Taxpayers – but NOT John Moorlach!

Note that Pat Bates has a lousy lifetime 89% CRA Score herself? (Despite her defending Bill Brough to the death of her own reputation)

John Moorloch also raked in $16k a year for at least 5 years in to his 401 retirement plan courtesy of you and I! In fact, Moorloch has been in elective office since 1995 and has not paid a dime in to his enormous pension! (which exists in addition to that 401 plan)

He must have one heck of a lifestyle to have to have a look at a Governor, Congress then a State Senate Run (aka a new job)… why not cash in that ghastly pension of 2.7% at 55 and call it a day? Heck, he’s got at least another $160k in his 401 plan, too. (to get the $80k out of the taxpayers, he had to contribute 80K of his own money to get the match)

Here is the potential Problem – Moorlach’s Form 700’s as of 2016 did not list very much stuff at all. If you read Moorlach’s form 700’s you’d think that the government was his sole source of income.

John Moorlach did not opt out of the pension, claiming that staff made him enroll in it. That did not stop Shawn Nelson from dis-enrolling!

John Moorlach even OPPOSED Shawn Nelson’s Plan to reduce the retirement plan benefits that supervisors get paid?

Wait a minute, Moorlach Pension Good, Union Pension Bad? There goes Moorlach thinking again. Then the dude wonders why the hell the Orange County Sheriff’s ran him over with a truck in 2020?

Is John Moorlach really a Fiscal Conservative? Please stop tossing Bricks inside that glass fiscal house.

This kind of  behavior is sure making Kevin Muldoon look like the adult in the room. On President’s Day think about the writings of our founding fathers. Our system of government was created for ethical people, not for career politicians who seek to secure their financial future at our expense while talking fiscal restraint out of the other side of their mouth.

And then there is this:

Despite launching his career as a critic of public pensions, Moorlach has taken advantage of his long career as an elected official to collect a taxpayer-funded pension, while also earning a taxpayer-funded salary –turning him into the “double-dipper” he used to criticize. Since 2014, Moorlach has collected an annual public pension of $83,827 from his 19 years spent as Orange County treasurer and member of the Orange County Board of Supervisors, while collecting over $100,000 a year in salary from his position as a state senator.

When he was County Treasurer, Moorlach was opposed to the “2.7% @ 55” retirement enhancement plan for county employees, but he accepted the enhanced pension for himself in 2014 at the age of 59. The plan allowed him to retire at 55 with a pension equal to 2.7% of his salary for every year of service, which for Moorlach equaled over half (51.3%) of his official salary for 19 years of service.

John Moorlach Collected Annual Government Pension Of $83,827 From Orange County Employees Retirement System. Moorlach Began Collecting Pension At 59, and Received Over $419,000 By End Of 2019. Since 2014, Moorlach has collected an annual pension from the Orange County Employees Retirement System totaling $83,827, having collected a total of $419,135 in cumulative pension payments by the end of 2019. Moorlach began collecting a pension at age 59, just before he joined the Senate, and his pension check is based on 19.7 years cumulative service on the Orange County Board of Supervisors and as the county treasurer.

Given this sort of hypocrisy, it is no surprise we find out he could care less about former staffers getting raped, raising taxes, opening the borders and a variety of other issues that contradict the image he wants us all to have of him! And then of course there is his yes vote on SB148 that gave a ton of sexual predators a get off of Megan’s Law free card.

And the OCGOP endorsed this guy?
