    Alameda County supervisors have really taken to heart the adage that government should run like a business — rewarding County Administrator Susan Muranishi with the Wall Street-like wage of $423,664 a year.

    For the rest of her life.

    According to county pay records, in addition to her $301,000 base salary, Muranishi receives:

    – $24,000, plus change, in “equity pay’’ to guarantee that she makes at least 10 percent more than anyone else in the county.

    – About $54,000 a year in “longevity” pay for having stayed with the county for more than 30 years.

    – An annual performance bonus of $24,000.

    – And another $9,000 a year for serving on the county’s three-member Surplus Property Authority, an ad hoc committee of the Board of Supervisors that oversees the sale of excess land.

    Like other county executives, Muranishi also gets an $8,292-a-year car allowance.

    Muranishi has been with the county for 38 years, and she’s 63. When retirement day comes, she’ll be getting a lot more than a gold watch.

    That’s because, according to the county auditor’s office, Muranishi’s annual pension will be equal to the dollar total of her entire yearly package — $413,000. She also has a separate executive private pension plan, for which the county chips in $46,500 a year.

    To find out more about how Muranishi wound up being the highest-paid county administrator in California,

    And people wonder why California has no money and budget problems? Something is seriously wrong with this picture when a public employee can receive a salary of this magnitude for life. I hope all you California peasants enjoy paying for this ladies luxurious lifestyle.

    I saw this on Fox, and sadly, the people of California are not paying attention to these ripoffs. Stupid ass liberals "trust" everything government as long as liberals are running the show. Now how (*)(*)(*)(*)ing stupid can people be? Obviously pretty (*)(*)(*)(*)ing stupid.

    Whats funny is Liberals would be upset if this was a private business, when they can technically do whatever they want. Its not the public's money. But make it a govt job and they're completely OK with it when its actually THEIR money. Astounding. They complain that some bank is giving executives big bonuses, but this goes right under their radar and its happening by the 1000s all over the country.
