$100k Minimum Wage' For 220,000 Highly-compensated California Public Employees Costs Taxpayers $35b

[SpiderK]

In many states, public service has little to do with serving the public and everything to do with using the public’s money to serve politicians. Whenever we open the books, California is consistently among the worst offenders. Recently, we found ‘animal collection curators’ making $110,290; city librarians earning $222,320; public utility commission bosses at $550,028; and county hospital doctors making $1.274 million.

This spring, at Forbes, we exposed 50,000 Illinois public employees earning six-figure salaries who cost taxpayers $8 billion. In California the numbers are exponentially larger: 218,667 employees making six-figures who cost $35 billion. For example, Illinois has 72 ‘city managers’ out-earning every governor of the 50 states. But, in California, the salaries of 171 assistant city managers average $201,550!

Then why not leave and go to a conservative state without all the fraud and abuse? If the democratic dominated states are so rife with corruption, and let's not forget how all the liberal cities are these mad max cesspool's, why not leave and go live in any number of middle and southern states? I thought those middle states sucked to live in so got to liberal CO as quick as I could, why do you not do the opposite?
