    I'm an independent investor. I make my living from the returns on my investments. I work at home, in the northern part of the San Francisco Bay area, or on my boat which I keep in the British Virgin Islands. I spent most of my career as an executive in high-tech, although I also spent time in banking. Down to one kid in university now!

Campus Cop Takes Home Loot

April 25th, 2008 by reality

Here’s a nice example of the outrageous compensation that bureaucrats are getting. This campus cop, who has spent her career protecting us from streakers, tree-sitters and weed in the dorms, retires at 53 with a multi-million dollar payout and then goes back to the trough for more.

UC Berkeley officials are defending an unusual arrangement that allowed Police Chief Victoria Harrison to retire last year with a $2.1 million package and then return to the same job right away for more money….

….Harrison got a $2,130,259 lump sum from the retirement plan. She will also receive $4,621 a month for 10 years, totaling $554,520, from a deferred compensation plan.

Before her retirement, Harrison was earning a base salary of $161,527. Combined with unused vacation pay and a stipend for her work as associate vice chancellor for public safety, her total compensation had amounted to $205,000 a year.

Under the terms of the rehiring, her base pay was $175,000, which increased to $181,125 two months later. In addition, she is receiving $12,700 annually for working with Cal’s athletic director and on special projects - for a total of almost $194,000 a year.

Outrageous.

    We really need a deep recession to flush the crud from our system. I would also welcome a return to our WW2 values (thrift, hard work, recycling, victory gardens, etc.)

    Will it be painful?

    Yep.

    Will we pawn everything that isn’t nailed down to avoid it?

    Undoubtably.
