I have to laugh. It's soooo obvious, but lets pretend. 100% true that the mayor and supervisors are owned by the PUBLIC unions - they fund their elections. When a police sergeant takes home $879,000 a year in a job that that should pay $100,000 max, you know the problem. This was obviously the fault of Reagan and Prop 13. šš

-its quite an eye opener when you have to click thru the list (listed in order of highest to lowest earner) for many pages till you even reach folks making "down in the" in the $300K range-quite extraordinary.
The most striking takeaway for me is the amount of people making well over $600K!
Yes. I have read that because of the inability to fully staff positions, that a few people end up getting overtime, etc. I am sympathetic to that point of view. I think if there were 1,000 or 1,200 officers (dare to dream!) you'd see a dramatic decrease in O/T and overall compensation numbers. Someone gets shot at 2am, skeleton crew on duty, you need someone - you pay overtime for it. Just another way that poor cities get more impoverished.
Laff away. Or add up the property tax increments (euphemistically "parcel" tax) since then just here in Oakland, perhaps consider something a little less cartoonish, worn thin, and obviously irrelevant than Reagan and Prop.
Laughter is the best medicine. To still hear libs blame lack of $ on Reagan and Prop 13 adds to the humor. The graft has been going on for decades. Kinda wished I'd gotten a government job and pension.

As pointed out in the article as well as in this link, the benefit costs are astounding. The Mayor's total comp, $215K. Benefits another $103K.

13 - bad as they were - and READ THE DATA.
