Really? I have a big problem with their salaries considering the Attorney General of the whole freakin’ United States makes waaay less than the DA of San Diego county. And did anyone notice that the DA is also set up for an additional $12,000 pay raise on Dec 31?[/quote]
Interesting comparison. Eric Holder has about as much experience as a lawyer as our DA (though his JD is from Columbia and hers is from a local law school) and he used to make $2 mil./year before he got nominated. If you’re offered a high-ranking job in the White House, you don’t turn it down just because it does not pay very well. But I don’t think it works that way for more “menial” jobs such as San Diego County DA.
