Why Calipornia Is In Trouble – 340,000 Public Employees With $100,000+ Paychecks Cost Taxpayers $45 Billion




Despite California’s $54 billion budget deficit and $1 trillion unfunded pension liability, there are 340,390 government employees bringing home six-figure salary and pension checks.

Gov. Gavin Newsom asked U.S. taxpayers for a bailout.

The governor wrote a letter to Congress requesting $1 trillion in coronavirus aid. Then, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi obliged by adding $500 billion for the states into the HEROES Act.

Oddly, Gavin Newsom is the one who shut down Calipornia, and the Bidenvirus has nothing to do with the beholden state's unfunded pension liability and runaway government salaries.

In total, $45 billion in cash compensation flows to local and state government workers across California earning six figures.

Median salary in California is over $100,000 (http://www.salaryexplorer.com/salary-survey.php?loc=71&loctype=2), with the average public employee salary just over $78,000 (http://www.salaryexplorer.com/salary-survey.php?loc=71&loctype=2,) so your “point” is lacking, what a shocker

There are 340,390 government employees bringing home six-figure salary and pension checks.

Recently, though, Gov. Gavin Newsom asked U.S. taxpayers for a bailout.

Auditors at OpentheBooks.com found garbage truck drivers in San Franshitsco making $159,000 per year; lifeguards in LA County costing taxpayers $365,000 per annum; nurses at UCSF making up to $501,000 each year; the UCLA athletic director earning $1.8 million annually; and 1,420 city employees out-earning all 50 state governors ($202,000 yearly).

  • 66,403 college and university employees – including the athletic director at UCLA, Daniel Guerrero ($1.8 million), who is retiring amid criticisms that his teams lost too frequently. The school’s football coach, Charles (Chip) Kelly ($3.3 million), compiled a 7-17 record during his first two years and is the most highly compensated public employee in the state. Furthermore, there are 11,310 college and university employees making more than $200,000.
  • 62,204 State of California employees – including a nurse, Ito Chikako, at the University of California, who made $501,391 – paid through the state system.

The chief regulator at barbering & cosmetology made $124,296.

Again the facts, “ Median salary in California is over $100,000 (http://www.salaryexplorer.com/salary...c=71&loctype=2), with the average public employee salary just over $78,000 (http://www.salaryexplorer.com/salary...c=71&loctype=2,)”

So tell us again how Gov’t employees in California are grossly overpaid
 
We found that 44 lifeguards in Los Angeles County cost taxpayers between $200,000 and $365,000.

Today, it’s worse with salaries comprising only about half the total cost when including overtime, extra pay and benefits.

In total, $45 billion in cash compensation flows to local and state government workers across California earning six figures. Our auditors did not include the cost of benefits.

We also haven’t included the payroll costs of at least 28,000 federal employees making $100,000+ within the executive agencies based in California.

San Francisco’s self-titled “Mr. Clean,” Mohammed Nuru, Public Works Director, is best known for failed efforts to keep feces and hypodermic needles out of the public way. Cases of human waste on city streets spiked to 31,000 in 2019 – an all-time high.

Nuru earned a $269,500 annual salary in 2018 (up $55,000 over a seven-year period). Allegedly, that wasn’t enough. Nuru was arrested for charges that included bribery.

Only in San Francisco can team members on the “poop patrol” cost taxpayers up to $184,000 each.

Given that a salary of $250,000 is barely enough to get a mortgage on a crap house in Cali, what did you expect? Of course these people have outrageous salaries. They have to to not be living in a tent as homeless turds. They're still turds, but what they hey, they're not homeless...
