The top salaries range from more than $1,000,000 on down. There are hundreds of state employees being paid more than $300,000, and thousands making more than $200,000. the Department of Corrections seems to have most of the large salaries while the retirement systems pay the best (PERS & STRS).
Forget worrying about malpractice if you are a doctor working or the state corrections - the state pays it for you and you can't be sued.
As the private sector is shrinking and jobs are disappearing, the state is not only growing, they haven't cut one state job and no one has been forlowed more than 5 days!
If you think that the Tea Parties around the state were only about taxes, think again. Government spending and expansion is what we have to fear and fight.
