Thanks for the Salary Reports
Last month, the Ventura County grand jury received unwelcome publicity for allegedly being rude to Ron Komers, the director of personnel for the county government. The jury was attempting to investigate the startlingly poorly timed pay raises given to county employees.
Much thanks is owed to the grand jury for its diligence and at least as much thanks to The Times for going beyond this point with its analyses of salary and benefits provided to more highly paid county “public servants.”
That the grand jury, assisted by The Times, has a chance to ferret out and publicize the choice benefits of a government job, spotlights the value of both the grand jury system and our free press.
