On its face, Measure SSS — which will be on the Nov. 8 ballot just for voters in the city of Los Angeles — seems straightforward. It also would allow the some 500 current airport officers to buy their way into the LAFPP. It would also raise police pension costs for the Los Angeles World Airports by 15% to 19%. Second, the union representing airport police officers isn’t supporting this measure, even though it negotiated the terms of Measure SSS with the city. Measure SSS is an incremental move in that direction, which seems premature.
