Thanks to State Controller John Chiang, we have some solid information about how much money our overlords in City Hall are making by visiting this site.
First surprise: the city has 35,771 employees! My assumption, based on stories in the press, was that that number was around 25,000.
Second surprise: how overpaid people in the Fire Department are. We learned years ago from the Grand Jury that the Fire Department is the worst offender at "pension-spiking." (Pension Tsunami: The Billion Dollar Bubble) What about "salary-spiking"?
Thanks to Cal Watchdog.com
