27th May 2008
One month before Schwarzenegger took office in November 2003, just eight state employees earned more than $200,000 a year working in the core state government, which excludes universities and the Legislature. In April of this year, there were nearly a thousand, according to records.
Oh, I wish I were a government employee,
That is what I’d truly like to beeeeeeee;
‘Cause if I were a government employee,
Everyone would be afraid of meeeeee.
