Redwood City cited in Forbes

Palomar Parkman, Neighbor

It was unfortunate to see Redwood City cited in Forbes as an example of California's public employee compensation being out of control:

Consider Redwood City, where three fire captains and one firefighter made between $434,274 and $452,733 in total compensation in 2012. One police officer made $463,690 in total compensation. In all, nine employees made over $400,000 in total compensation with a total of 33, mostly police and fire department employees, making over $300,000 in total compensation in 2012.
