    The question is "What is the benefit contribution?" Normal people, meaning those without privilege, make contributions to their retirement out of their salaries. These guys are getting 40k, 50k, on top of the salaries. Or to be more specific, this analysis only presents a partial look at the problem and don't forget Golden Parachutes, severance packages.

    These numbers are almost meaningless if benefits are not included: vacation days, auto, expense account, housing allowance, holidays, etc. Come on Indy Staff - roll up your sleeves and do a little research - the results will be shocking - your readers want to know!!!

    By the way, the rumor going around that Chandra Wallar from San Diego is the first choice to replace Mike Brown as Santa Barbara County CEO is true.
