If you don’t want to read me ranting about our political social issues, that we should be outraged about, you don’t have to.

Recently I read on a news paper that publishes salaries of local city officials and employees, city by city for Northern California. Because here in California, salaries for city official and personnel are a public records. Now I think everyone should make a “decent” salary. Here are a couple: Several bus drivers for a local city, $120,000/yr, including ~ $20,000 of overtime. Here is another, job title: Mower, yep, here our cities have lots of parks, and the person that goes around the parks to mow the lawn is called a mower, several with salaries of ~ $115,000/yr. I think these is great, I call this a decent salary for Northern California. And then, there is an official, above photo, that has a base salary of $246,000/yr. This person manages the public transportation system for a city. I would say that is also a decent salary, but wait, this person also gets $40,000/yr housing allowance. Holy cow, that is much, much more than a retired person get’s on Social Security that he/she contributed to. There is more, $1000/mo cost of living allowance, $55,000/yr stipend for services to Caltrain, $20,000/yr contribution to his pension. 6 weeks/yr paid vacation. And this goes on till the salary reaches $406,000/yr. That is indecent, who approves this outrageous packages, likely other officials who make more than this person. And the city people they serve has not a word to say about it. That is why the paper publishes the salaries with names, so that we should be outraged. This is just a minor official. Just read that a local recently hired CEO, if they will stay CEO for 5 yrs, then will get a one time $30M check, on top of their yearly compensation. ... We Are Getting Hosed !!
