California Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown has announced plans to review local government salaries of more than $300,000 and seek legislative reform that would cap public salaries and eliminate pension loopholes, according to an LA Times report.
Mr. Brown cited as an example the $800,000 in annual compensation paid to the chief administrator of a local hospital, whom sources identified as Fremont-based Washington Hospital CEO Nancy Farber.
Ms. Farber has faced public criticism for months over her salary of $847,000, according to the report. A Washington Hospital spokesman said the elected hospital board awarded Ms. Farber additional compensation for her "exceptional" performance.
