Stockton, the central California city trying to avert bankruptcy, can continue suspending accrued vacation and sick time payouts for its retiring and departing police officers, a state judge ruled.
San Joaquin County Superior Court Judge Lesley D. Holland yesterday rejected the Stockton Police Officers’ Association’s request for an order reinstating the pay. David E. Mastagni, a lawyer representing the association, said some officers have spent 30 years accruing the compensation.
