Judge sides with hospitals over California ballot initiative to cap executive pay

The San Jose Mercury reports:

A Sacramento County judge has ruled that a proposed ballot initiative to limit hospital executives' pay violates a prior deal between the labor union that backs it and the California Hospital Association, which opposes it.

The judge ruled Friday in a case involving a proposed November initiative asking voters to limit any hospital executive's salary and expense allowance to that of the president of the United States.

The president's current pay is $450,000.

Just a reminder on where progressives want to take the country. Do you want voters determining how much you are allowed to make?
