[What a bunch of journalistic wimps are the lamestream media. Already famous for their selective censoring of news which conflicts with their fragile ideology, they now show that they cannot even tolerate a smidgeon of balanced views with NBC hiring and then firing former RNC head Ronna McDaniel when their vaunted cadres of woke talking heads became hysterical at the thought of sharing airtime with a conservative. You really must have vacuum between your ears to let outlets like that be your news source. gjr]

Looking at the Nevada County salaries/benefits – I thought that women were only paid 80% of men’s salaries. Half of the 36 highest paid folks are women. Or have women’s names. A shame the 80% rule doesn’t apply to Cali/Nevada – might save some money.

Judging from local radio, every single manager and talking head from county .gov is female. I’d have to guess that their hiring and advancement has been predicated on gender for some time. I admit that I’d probably prefer an emergency services exec to be a grizzled old dude who has seen it all instead of County Barbie with uptalk, but it’s mostly about meetings and reports and stakeholders and whatnot anyway. The money in a grant-based world has to go somewhere and it might as well be the current recipients.

EF: “If there were only some way to get competition to the county govt.- maybe salaries would come down.”
There’s always been outsourcing, but you just end up with the office in charge of outsourcing spending as much money as the outsourcing itself, plus the outsourcing goes to your special friends. Twas always thus.
Over time, I can’t imagine a government that doesn’t become wealthy on the backs of it’s citizens. The combination of monopoly and threat of force will, over time, always lead to the same results, good deeds or not. There’s a reason the GULAG camp commanders could live in luxury, Venetian Doges had good art collections, the Clinton are sittin’ pretty, and it wasn’t from running a successful plumbing supply business.
I’ve always admired the local government wage ratchet that has happened in my lifetime. (1) We need job guarantees because we don’t make much. (2) We need better benefits because we don’t make much. (3) We need good wage-based pensions because we don’t make much and we are selfless servants (4) We need high wages to attract ‘talent’ (which brings up the pensions, naturally). On the Left there’s the knee-jerk reaction to the goodness of anything ‘union’, on the Right a certain amount of automatic praise of anything public safety oriented.
It’s all good.

A separate issue, but I have mixed feelings about prisons for financial fraud. It always seemed to me that there was something more appropriate for punishment.
Truth is, I’ll bet you could mostly empty the places by doing something like:
. Let everyone out for use and possession (personal amounts) of drugs. I certainly don’t care.
. Public caning/lashing for certain violent crimes rather than jail. I’ll bet it would work better. Maybe add in multiple DUI, some drug dealing etc.
. Financial crimes are met with financial penalties. Force people to be poor in perpetuity if appropriate.
. Genuine violent crime goes to jail. As much to keep people off the street as it is punishment.
perhaps alternatives I’m not listing.
I realize how hard it would be (and probably then don’t appreciate the magnitude) to redesign something that has organically grown for 100s of years, but use of prisons sure has metastasized.
As a side note, if you have capital punishment, it’s on live TV. Nothing creepier than behind-the-scenes official state killing.
