- A headline in the Las Vegas Review-Journal called John Oceguera a “world-class hypocrite.”
- While the city of North Las Vegas was on the brink of bankruptcy, John Oceguera started collecting his lifetime taxpayer-funded pension.
- Oceguera even bought five years of credit – cushioned by his parting gift from North Las Vegas: $283,733.69 in accrued, unused sick leave – so he could immediately begin collecting his full pension and retire at the age of 43.
