Joliet resident Jerry Hervey addressed the Joliet City Council on the issue of pension spikes for Al Roechner and Darrell Gavin. He is against it. (City of Joliet )
JOLIET, IL Al Roechner was a lousy chief at the Joliet Police Department and Darrell Gavin was equally inept as Roechner s deputy chief, according to Black Joliet community activist Jerry Hervey.
Because Roechner and Gavin were both underachievers, according to Hervey, the Joliet City Council must not allow Roechner to retire with a $31,000 pay raise on his second to last day at work. Days later, Gavin negotiated an $18,000 raise for himself to retire, rather than accept a demotion back to sergeant and a substantial pay cut.
