Of course, many know Governor Newsom gets $202,000 per year or half of what six Culver City Employees get in wages, and benefits. Although I could be mistaken, I don’t think so.

We have been squeezed like a plum to we could be a prune soon.

I guess what burns my --- is the California Governor gets $202,000 and represents over 35 million or so folks while we have six Culver City employees getting over $400,000 with the city’s population around 41,000. Perhaps someone found a missing check book.
