City overpays

Thursday, Apr 17 2008, 2:31 pm

It is shocking, that a fresh college graduate, with no experience and a non-technical degree, is being paid $8,000 yearly above the prevailing salary for similar non-technical positions.

Paying $38,550 yearly, plus benefits, for an inexperienced, non-technical degreed candidate, to fill the Corning community recreation position, sets an overpayment precedence for other similar public employee positions. Too many public employees are provided pay and benefit packages well above those for civilian positions, driving California towards bankruptcy.

Someone should look into why kimbroughs assistant left. I have heard from someone who works for the city that she was forced to resign for embezelling over $10k. WHY isnt she in jail and why has the City Manager been fired for covering this up?
