Life in "Progress" City

From the "progressive" utopia of San Francisco where you can't find a conservative in city government with a pack of cadaver dogs.........

More than 1 in 3 of San Francisco's nearly 27,000 city workers earned $100,000 or more last year - a number that has been growing steadily for the past decade.

The number of city workers paid at least $100,000 in base salary totaled 6,449 last year. When such extras as overtime are included, the number jumped to 9,487 workers, nearly eight times the number from a decade ago. And that calculation doesn't include the cost of often-generous city benefits such as health care and pensions.

The pay data obtained by The Chronicle show that many of the high earners bolstered their base pay with overtime and "other pay," a category that includes payouts for unused vacation days and extra money for working late-night shifts.


Thanks reader Jeremy for the tip.

Paying city workers more than the people paying the taxes make? Now that's "progressive"!
