According to the new Miami Herald Data Sleuth service, Natacha Seijas’ daughter, Justina Millan-Clegg is making an annual salary of $93,388.10 (Gross YTD $97.464.10) at the Miami Dade Aviation Department as a Cost Analyst. I wonder if she is ever worried about job security?I found this pretty surprising: We are paying 20 salaries at aviation between $256,259 and $138,672 and 20 more between $133,219 and $123,075, 20 between $122,919 and $108,536. There were another 22 between $108,212 and $100,191.
So there are 82 salaries at the airport over $100,000. That is $8,200,000 a year. Could my math be correct?
At the port of Miami, by contrast, there are 16 employees making over $100,000 per year. At Metropolitan Planning (MPO) there are 6 salaries over $100,000. Is anyone looking at these airport salaries in comparison to private sector jobs? We are pretty kind to county staff, maybe that is why the big-wigs there are so quiet.
Speaking of pay, Terry Murphy, Vile Natacha’s Executive Assistant, makes an annual salary of $112,192 (Gross YTD $131,458.00). He has been working for the County since 1988. Terry did you know that Natacha’s daughter (who has been with the county since 2002) makes almost as much as you do? It is time for a raise. I have to assume hanging out with Natacha and being her chauffer is worth far more than that. Print this out and hand it to her Terry.

Not only does Natacha take care of her "kin" but she voted for the nasty ordinance to prevent people sitting or wanting to sit on county boards from suing the county. This is noteworthy because at her committee meeting she puffed up and spoke against it (but pushed it forward anyway; duh). So much for supporting the people. Rise up people in Hialeah; run someone against this toxic commissioner.
Can just picture Terry doing this...
Seijas' daughter working there for that amount of money is a joke, a bad joke. People with far more experience and education are making far less and doing more work. Where is the ethics commission on this farce?
Your math is correct but you only included salaries, which don't include benefits such as:
1. the cost of health insurance which is virtually free for the employee
2. the "executive benefits" package offered to top management
3. take home county cars and SUV's, or optional county leased vehicles, for people who never return to the airport on call, with fuel paid by the airport for the take home cars even if they live up in Port St. Lucie and commute 100 miles each way
4. the county's contribution to the state retirement system so they can get 48% of their pay in retirement with 30 years of service or 1.6% per year of service upon reaching age 62. Of course police and fire (I wonder how many of those over $100K salaries that you mention are fire or police employees assigned to the airport and paid by the airport?) are "special risk" and they get 75% of their salaries, including OT up the ass the last five years to jack up their average salary and future retirement, after 25 years of service.
5. 12 days sick leave each year, bankable if you don't use all of it, so you can sell it when you retire at your current wage level. You could be earning $10 an hour when you accrued the sick leave but sell it at the end of your career when you're making $50 an hour and get paid for all that unused leave at $50 an hour. Same with annual leave (2 weeks to start, 4 weeks after 15 or 20 years).
6. Those salaries are for part-time jobs for some folks who can't seem to drag their butts to work or stay at work all day to put in a full 40-hours per week, no matter how much they make. And when they are at work they make good bucks to surf the internet, booking vacations, buying cars, sending e-mails to friends, etc. or BS'ing half the day with co-workers.
That's enough for now. Sorry I made some of you puke.
And PUKE I did - there are Barf bags all over my house. Thanks all the same for the informational comment.
What a crime. The private sector would never pay those people that well, that is if any one in the private sector would even hire them in the first place.
The publication of county salaries by the Herald is wonderful. Thanks for letting us know about it.
