Ex-state Senator Don Perata has been spreading false information about the Oakland police union’s pension deal with the city.

But in an interview today, Oakland police union President Dom Arotzarena said Perata is wrong. “There is a deal,” Arotzarena said. “I sat through the negotiations myself. There’s a signed deal. I even had a vote from the entire membership.”
