There were 25+ firemen making over $300,000+ per year. The City was paying 80 cents of every incoming dollar on pay and benefits. In 2007 one of disgraced Mayor Manny Diaz chauffeurs made $285,000.

There is the grand misconception that all of these employees are making really big money, working little, and keeping grand offices. However, that is not the case for most government employees.
