$70,000 Starting Salary for Vallejo, CA Firemen:$31,000 Given By Fireman's PAC

The San Francisco Chronicle reports on overpaid government workers:

The starting salary for a Vallejo firefighter is about $70,000 a year, among the highest in the state. Ten firefighters earned more than $200,000 each last year, including overtime, city officials said.

Last fall, the union representing Vallejo's firefighters gave $31,000 to a political action committee that supported a slate of council candidates on the November ballot. In addition, individual firefighters gave several thousand dollars directly to candidates, city records show.

The police union gave $33,000 to the same political action committee, the United Workers for Local Government; the California Teachers Association gave $21,000. Other labor unions chipped in smaller amounts.

The committee spent $53,000 to promote the winning City Council campaigns of Erin Hannigan and Michael Wilson. They also received money from individual firefighters. The other five members of the council have received little to no money from firefighters in their most recent campaigns.

That's probably the highest starting salary we've heard of whether one has a 4 year B.A. or not.Anyway,what better proof than this that rent-seeking groups will loot the taxpayers until bankruptcy is discussed?
