YAY! Schwarzenegger reads my blog!
Or, somebody working for him, perhaps. Let's follow the timeline:
THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2008 - Michael Psycho comments on the seemingly ambiguous job title of "Career Executive Assignment" (CEA) when pertaining to state job positions. He also wonders why state agencies need so many friggin' CEAs.
THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 2008 - The Sacramento Bee reports, AND (risking copyright infringement,) I quote,
"Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has restricted salary increases for 1,330 supervisors throughout state agencies and authorized an audit to find out why some are making more than allowed under the current pay scale.
In a March 24 memo obtained by The Bee, Personnel Administration Department Director David Gilb ordered state directors and agency secretaries to immediately halt salary increases for a certain class of civil servants working in management positions but not covered by unions. Others will be eligible for a smaller raise than previously allowed.
"Any CEA salary currently above the maximum salary of their respective level is frozen; no additional salary increases within the CEA bands may be authorized," Gilb wrote."
The story goes on to say that - no surprise here - there are CEAs being paid OVER the maximum salary for the job. Audits are planned and the wheels of bureaucracy are in full spin to make it look like something will be done.
So, hey, Arnie, you're welcome. I had no problem with making you aware of that information. Feel free to drop by anytime.
