Migden lands plum job ($132,178 a year) on waste panel

What happened to California's budget deficit? As a state worker, I DO NOT mind doing my fair share to help reduce California's budget deficit, such as taking 1 day unpaid leave per month. But why should state workers THAT DO THE WORK have to take all the pain when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger appoints people to boards that are places to park has-been politicians – at a very hefty salary, $132,178 per year.
