To the editor: As soon as once more, there’s a shock proper in the midst of my very own metropolis.
I recognize that the Los Angeles Police Fee agreed to begin our new chief at a reduced rate of “only” $450,000, which saves a bit, and hopefully supplies a good way of life for Jim McDonnell. However nonetheless, the brand new Los Angeles Police Division chief’s wage is sort of half one million {dollars}, with will increase on the way in which.
I’ve not adopted the story of McDonnell’s background, nor the backgrounds of those that competed with him for the L.A. police chief place. However, a metropolis this deep in debt wants to point out higher fiduciary duty. I do know some of us on this metropolis who would like to earn 20% of McDonnell’s wage.
However my massive shock was our overflowing compensation to town’s utility. How did Janisse Quiñones, common supervisor of the Los Angeles Division of Water and Energy, score an annual salary of $750,000? Does anyone else suppose that’s extreme?
