It seems like every day I read about how government wastes money so I thought I would record them. Since I began this blog, I have been stunned by the amount of waste, fraud, and mismanagement I have found. I recognize that some government is necessary for any society to exist but without the "profit incentive" that we have in private enterprise, government continues to grow like a cancer and along with it the potential for abuse. If you ever needed a reason to limit government, just read some of the following posts.

County supervisor will receive $400,000+/year pension

Alameda County Administrator Susan Muranishi will retire with an annual pension of $423,644 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. She also has a separate executive private pension plan, for which the county chips in $46,500 a year.  No wonder municipalities and state governments around the country are going bankrupt.
