Maybe former State Senator Carole Migden can buy some new clothes with her new $132,178 salary?
“In the midst of a $40 billion budget deficit, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed former Democratic Assemblywoman Nicole Parra to a newly created $128,124-a-year job and named former Republican Assemblyman Greg Aghazarian to a board slot with a similar salary, his office announced Tuesday,” according to the Sacramento Bee.
“The appointments were the fourth and fifth six-figure jobs that Schwarzenegger has given to legislators who departed office last year. The Assembly and Senate appointed three other former lawmakers to positions with similar pay.”
Our state is broke and our Governor is giving six figure jobs to political hacks who have termed out of the State Legislature? Not cool.
“Schwarzenegger appointed Aghazarian to the Worker’s Compensation Appeals Board, which pays $128,109 a year. He named ex-Assembly members Bonnie Garcia and George Plescia on New Year’s Eve to $128,109-a-year posts on the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board. And he gave former Sen. Carole Migden a $132,178 job on the Integrated Waste Management Board in December.”
What in the Hell does Migden know about Waste Management? What can she possibly bring to the table that is worth over $130,000 a year? This is just plain disgusting.
OMG! Silly Art,
This picture is (eew) and where do I apply for this job i’m sure there has to be and online application somewhere.
This Governor is a huge disappointment. A text book example of promise one thing, do the opposite.
I wonder what our state and local budgets would be like if we reduced all top salaries in the state to 100,000? It probably wouldnt do as much as a $1.00/hr reduction in the pay of everyone under 100K but it might make the rest of us feel better.
“This Governor is a huge disappointment”
Not to me he isn’t.
Michelle,
I think I would pay $100,000 not to have to look at Carole Migden’s midsection again!
