Bowman said Wednesday he supports the idea of no longer factoring overtime into pensionable police wages. The move could save the city $1.5 million a year, Bowman said. "No other civic pension agreement includes overtime in pensionable earnings calculations. Moe Sabourin of the Winnipeg Police Association, which has been highly critical of Bowman, said Bowman can not instruct the city to make the changes. Bowman also pledged to devote $100,000 a year from his discretionary office budget to a new crime-prevention fund.
