As on commenter said. “Surprise, surprise, as we look upon the new gilded class.”
Kathy,
Nice work on your new “Sunshine Review” analysis and report!
The Sunshine Review report is WORTHLESS because it is missing a lot of other higher government salaries in California, especially cops and firefighters.
Bay Area News Group has a more accurate database for Bay Area governmental agencies.
